Will check out the version linked to via the Jaws-users pages. I am using Jaws 9, and FWIW, couldn't even find things like standard menu systems etc. since if I try various combinations of Alt (alone), Alt + space (for system menu), followed by an escape and then try moving left and right to try find other menu structures, they're not there - almost like being in some form of splash screen.
Even tried the couple of different display settings that can be activated through the programs menu structure (via shortcuts). Will maybe try it out on my other machine as well just in case, but they're both currently running Jaws 9.0.522, but another thing I might try it out with is something like NVDA, or else the demo of Window eyes, Thunder, narrator, SAToGo etc. to make sure if it's a Jaws version specific problem or something.
