The tool bar idea is good thinking, I agree it is a possibility. Personally I like my display set to classic, but that's just me. Also the screen resolution is hard to say. For example on my system that I recently upgraded from XP Media Center to 7 pro the recommended screen resolution is different even though nothing else has changed.
Also each monitor does have its own native settings from the manufacturer, so like I say that is a tuff call. Never the less we have given hopefully enough information pointing in the right direction.

Go to the control panel & display . In Display make sure that on the Desktop page that is set on, Bliss, on the Screensaver page it is set on none, & on the Settings page it is set for 1024 by 768. Also, did you install any programs or toolbars that might be interfering with Jaws? Or, what exactly did you do directly before this problem began? Take care.

For Jaws echo I have mine set on characters & for screen echo I set mine on, highlighted. Take care.
