software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work
I am using W7, Outlook 2010 and jaws 16. While installing windows updates

How about the Fn key? Does it have special functions with several of the
other keys? Might you have turned it on again, having previously disabled

Good day,
I have a new computer it is running Windows seven and Jaws 11.02. And for some
reason Jaws is announcing the time every minute. It doesn't do this when the
pc cursor is on the desk top but anywhere else and at all other times it does.
I have not encountered this before, how do I
Check highlighting. It toggles between all, none, and highlighted. Hit JAWS-S
until you hear Highlighted.

I thought that perhaps the laptop was borrowed by a friend or one of her

Hi Joy,
It sounds like your screen echo is set on, All. Press, Insert + S, until
you hear Jaws report, Highlighted see if this takes care of the problem.
Take care.

My guess would be to delete the .JGF file in the ENU folder, to start over

Sorry, but it has really only ever been set to highlighted, and I did check it
(and everything else I could think of ) before writing. That is not the
problem. I have been using Jaws for many many years now and always (and only)

You're right, I don't know what I was thinking. You have to make allowances;

I'm not a hundred percent sure what running it in default mode would be. If
you mean without changing any settings or customization, just as is when loaded
