[JAWS-Users] problem with Windows media player

2011-12-14 Thread Susan Wojtecki
Hi everyone,
Am hoping someone can help with this. I finally upgraded to a new PC
with Windows 7 running JAWS 12, WMP 12 and the latest version of
Winamp. I attempted to set Winamp as my default player for all audio
files and playing CDs. This seemed to work initially but now Windows
Media has begun grabbing files and I have been unable to find the
preferences dialog to change it. At this poingt I not only can't play
anything in Winamp but JAWS seems to lose focus whenever I try to go
into the file dialog and I can't access the preferences either. I'm
pretty sure I'm still on the classic skin but it's almost acting like
that is messed up as well. Any thoughts on fixing this much
appreciated. I'm not very comfortable with WMPand am new to current
JAWS as well as Windows 7, so the more detailed the instructions the
better. Would also like to know how MSSE compares to the paid
antivirus programs like Nod32 and whether anybody is using the user
account control without going insane. All help appreciated.

Susan

perhaps your best option at this point is to reinstall Winamp, making 
sure that the Classic Skin (or accessibility options) is chosen. in that 
dialogue select all file types if that's available.
