Thanks David. I do not experience this problem on any particular web site.
Since it is only equipped for high-speed Internet access, I will have to
wait until I am able to take it with me to another place with Wi-Fi Internet
access. Since I am able to surf the Internet without problems, I am hoping
this is just a temporary glitch.

I have an Acer Aspire with Jaws 11 but am not getting this problem.
Can I suggest that you do the following.
Go back to the web page you are having problems with.
Cursor to the link you are trying to download from but do not press on it.
Now press insert F7 to bring up the links list.
Make sure the link you want is highlighted in the list. If it is not move
up
or down to that link.
Now press tab once to go to the move to link button.
Press space on the button to move to the link.
Make sure now that you do not touch the touch pad arrow keys or any other
keys.
Now press the application key and hopefully the right context menu will
come up.
Regards
David griffith

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Trouble With New Netbook and JAWS
I recently purchased a new netbook. It is an Acer Aspire One. It has JAWS
8
with Windows XP Home installed on it. I tried to download several files
this
evening and neither the Applications key nor the right mouse button would
work properly. Instead of displaying the option to download a file, it
would
merely allow you to save the web page and not the file being linked to. I
had my dad, who is sighted, use the touch-screen mouse pad and download
several files. He was able to do it without problems. Every time I used
the
arrow keys, pressing the Applications key or the right mouse button only
resulted in pulling down a menu to change the background display. Are
there
certain netbooks that JAWS does not interface well with? Any help would be
appreciated.
