Re: [JAWS-Users] An annoying jaws problem in outlook 2007.
Actually, I have experienced this behavior with the last few JAWS versions, and it's annoying, to say the least. Also, with JAWS 14, at the beginning of reading a message, JAWS will read one stray word, usually from the first line of text, before it starts reading the header material. Not a big thing, but a little annoying.

[JAWS-Users] Perenial problem with radio bottons
Well first, is that what they're called, radio buttons? Or is it radial buttons? Anyway, I have had this problem before, on my previous XP computer with Jaws 12 and on this WIN7 computer with Jaws 13 and whith my extremely magnified Magic, I can see what's there and what isn't happening. I was trying to do this NLS survey, actually, I was trying to do it twice and this happened to me two times. There were these options to check and Jaws was reading them and I could see these buttons to the left of each option. But the space bar either wouldn't check the option at all, or it checked the wrong option. So I'd try to get Jaws to read that line and I'd then use the left arrow to go to the left of the first letter of the option I wanted. Sometimes, that worked and I could check the option. But sometimes, it didn't work at all. And then if I pressed shift tab to go back to where I was at the beginning of the page, I'd be in Bing Search with a bunch of My Favorites listed underneath. Does anyone have a suggestion for getting the correct radio button checked? Has anyone else ever had this problem?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Perenial problem with radio bottons
Miriam, They are called radio buttons. If you remember the old style radios that had big buttons on them. When you would push one button in, the one that was pushed in, would pop out. The idea is that only one button can be selected at a time. Your problem may come from trying to look at the screen and listen to JAWS. Just listen to JAWS. As you tab onto the radio button it will announce the button selection, if that is the one you want, you can hit the space bar. If you are using the arrow keys, sometimes you will hear button before or after the label for that button. Hitting space on the label won't do anything.Just tab and you should be fine. I took that same survey earlier today and didn't notice anything strange about it. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Senior Oracle Database Administrator Carnegie Mellon University.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Perenial problem with radio bottons
Well, it didn't work that way for me. I didn't look until I was forced to. When I tabbed, It read the choice but when I pressed the space bar, it didn't check the button. It did work if I pressed R which moved me from choice to choice and allowed me to check the button I wanted. But I've gotten stuck again because I'm at another point where they're asking about what kinds of devices I use to read, and nothing is getting checked when I tab from choice to choice. When I press R, it says, no radio buttons. And there don't appear to be check boxes either. I know, I know, everyone is completing this damn survey with no problem except me!

Or is it radial buttons? Anyway, I have had this problem before, on my previous XP computer with Jaws 12 and on this WIN7 computer with Jaws 13 and whith my extremely magnified Magic, I can see what's there and what isn't happening. I was trying to do this NLS survey, actually, I was trying to do it twice and this happened to me two times. There were these options to check and Jaws was reading them and I could see these buttons to the left of each option. But the space bar either wouldn't check the option at all, or it checked the wrong option. So I'd try to get Jaws to read that line and I'd then use the left arrow to go to the left of the first letter of the option I wanted. Sometimes, that worked and I could check the option. But sometimes, it didn't work at all. And then if I pressed shift tab to go back to where I was at the beginning of the page, I'd be in Bing Search with a bunch of My Favorites listed underneath. Does anyone have a suggestion for getting the correct radio button checked? Has anyone else ever had this problem?

If you remember the old style radios that had big buttons on them. When you would push one button in, the one that was pushed in, would pop out. The idea is that only one button can be selected at a time. Your problem may come from trying to look at the screen and listen to JAWS. Just listen to JAWS. As you tab onto the radio button it will announce the button selection, if that is the one you want, you can hit the space bar. If you are using the arrow keys, sometimes you will hear button before or after the label for that button. Hitting space on the label won't do anything.Just tab and you should be fine.

Re: [JAWS-Users] An annoying jaws problem in outlook 2007.
I've observed with JAWS 14 that I have to make sure manually that the cursor is at the first line of the message, then give a READ-ALL command. As far as a mute issue, JAWS seems to stop reading in both e-mail messages and on web pages, and I have to repeat my READ-ALL command to get it to resume reading.

Actually, I have experienced this behavior with the last few JAWS versions, and it's annoying, to say the least. Also, with JAWS 14, at the beginning of reading a message, JAWS will read one stray word, usually from the first line of text, before it starts reading the header material. Not a big thing, but a little annoying.

Many times in reading a message, Jaws doesn't just start to read it, although it is supposed to do it. Many times, I just hear, read only edit. The only way I can correct this, is to unload jaws and load it again. Then, it works for awhile, and then goes back to what it was doing before. Is there a fix for this? I'm running jaws 14 on a windows 7 Home premium on a 64 bit machine. Thanks for your help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Windows 8 problem or not?
Ah so yours is doing odd things too then. I have strange stuff happening with mine. The slider to turn the wireless radio on or off is gone. Very odd. Same situation with JAWS. The card is off. I can't get it back on. I've seen the odd sys tray thing too but when I wake it from sleep. It was fine until last Wednesday. I upgraded it when Win 8 came out and it was fine from then till last Wednessday like I said. I also have a problem with Sound Forge all of the suden asking me to register it and that was fine before.

Unknown to me at the time, my wife, who was using IE9 on a different machine on the same network, had begun to have the same problems with instability that I was having. When I found out about her problems, I decided to replace the router just to see if that would fix the problem. It did. I replaced the router two days ago and have had no problems at all sense then. I just wanted to let everyone know because I wouldn't want someone who had seen my previous posts on this subject to look unfavorably upon upgrading to Win 8 or IE10 because of incorrect information that I had posted.
