hello Marilyn; if the menus are being read correctly when using narrator, I would most likely do a jaws repair.

Narrator reads the main menus just fine. So the problem is with jaws. I suspect that a reinstall of jaws 10 or new install of jaws 11 could solve this but I am not at all good at this guesswork. Should I try one of those or a system restore?
