Subject: [JAWS-Users] Making Avast More Accessible
Hi all, please accept my apologies for the duplicate posts, however I feel
that the more people that get the below instructions, the better. So here
we
go.
Hi all, do the following two things to make Avast more accessible.
Configuring Avast to not use the skins for the simple user interface:
1. Start Avast.
2. Wait for the memory test to be completed, then close the web page that
appears. You should now land on a dummy check box.
3. Press the applications key to open a context menu, down arrow to
settings
and press enter. The Programme Settings dialogue box appears, with the
categories tree gaining focus.
4. Tab until you hear, "enable skins for simple user interface check box
checked". Press space to uncheck it.
5. Tab to ok and press enter. You'll land back on the dummy check box.
6. Close and restart Avast. You should now be able to tab through the
controls in this programme.
Configuring JAWS to read lists in Avast:
1. Make sure that you're focused on the Avast Simple User Interface.
2. Press JAWS key 6 to open Configuration Manager.
3. Press enter to accept the New Configuration File dialogue box.
4. Press alt s to open the set options menu, then press a. The advanced
Options dialogue box appears.
5. Shift tab till you hear, "Rely on MSAA for List Views check box not
checked". Press space to check it.
6. Press enter to activate the ok button.
7. Either press control s to save your configuration file immediately, or
press alt F4, pressing enter to activate the yes button on the confirm
dialogue box.
By doing these steps, you'll resolve an issue on some machines whereby
JAWS
stops speaking when focused on any of the lists in Avast.
Hi, for a complete scan, check all local disks, check archives, move the
slider to 100% (thorough scan), and click start. Hope that helps.
Hi all, please don't worry about messages like that. It just means that
Avast couldn't scan the files in that archive because it was password
protected. What you can do is tab to the action button, hit space on that,
arrow to delete, press enter, ensure that delete file(s) permanently is
checked, activate the delete button, enter on that, and the results should
refresh with the new data. Don't worry; I don't think it deletes the
archives found to have been "locked", but I'm not sure about that one.
I'll
check this out. Hope that helps.

I use Avast! 4 Home Edition and it works quite well with Jaws once you
turn
the skins for the simple user interface off.
