[JAWS-Users] Need help with jaws and windos Vista and mobile device center.

Listers, I can't get Jaws to read the buttons in vista64 bit when using mobile device center. My brother tells me that all the buttons are there but Jaws can't see them. Has anyone else had this problem when using mobile device center and Vista64 bit? If so, were you able to fix it?
