[nfbcs] any experience with JAWES and open office

[Doug Lee]

I know this sort of video trouble occurred years ago with JAWS, but I
am not aware of any problems of that sort in modern versions of JAWS.
There are issues with high-DPI laptops running old non-DPI-aware
applications with JAWS or any other screen reader, but that's a
different kettle of fish entirely.

Do you know of any video drivers that do not work with JAWS 16?

If the video driver is too new, jaws won't have anything available to talk
with it so when a new computer gets bought be sure jaws already accommodates
that driver before you get it home or else.
