[Blindtlk] an JAWS question

Mon Sep 26 12:58:07 UTC 2011

Hi Marsha. Go to your original Jaws install file. I normally make a second
copy because the name is hard to type and name the second copy something
simple like jaws.exe

Then go to the run command with Windows R and type
Jaws.exe /type repair

This will ensure JAWS is back to its default state. Let's start with that.

Gary,

Using the insert Z did nothing to help. Alt tabbing, did nothing. Using the
F6 did nothing. I was originally using IE 7, and Jaws 12. Once I noticed
things were not working, I updated my jaws and IE. Now thus I am using IE 8.
Nothing else about my computer has changed. 

How would I go about fixing my jaws or IE? Please explain that process,
please

BTW, You will be visiting my state soon!
Marsha

Hi Marsha. When you bring up a webpage, press insert Z or Jaws Key Z as the
like to call it. Write and tell me what it says.

You also have another option. That is to do a repair of Jaws to ensure
nothing is broken there. The same is true with Internet Explorer.

Lloyd, 

Before I upgraded my IE version 7. Things were working well. Then for
whatever reason things stopped working. When I go to a new webpage, it does
start off in the address area. But using F6 does nothing to help read the
page. 

What is the Virtual buffer? 

I think you might be on to something.

Sometimes IE 8 comes up with focus on the address bar.  Try pressing F6 a
couple of times and see if this will bring the page into the virtual buffer.
