[nabs-l] question about JAWS 12 and AIM 7.5

[Katie Wang]

Hello, all,
  I recently installed AIM (AOL Instant messenger) 7.5, which is
supposed to be compatible with JAWS 12. However, I have discovered a
minor accessibility glitch: JAWS does not always speak incoming
messages consistently during a conversation. Specifically, when a new
message arrives, JAWS tends to repeat the previously sent message
first, after which it will either stop or speak the new message. This
does not make the program unuseable by any means, as I can always tab
over to the conversation history and review any incoming IM's, but I
find it a bit annoying and less user-friendly than the previous
versions. Has anyone encountered this problem? Is there a setting I
can adjust to fix this, or is this just the reality of how JAWS
behaves with the new software? Any tips/suggestions would be much
appreciated. Thanks!
   Katie
