Hi.
The first version of jaws that worked with Windows 7, was Jaws 11, but here
you still have the same problem with the system tray when pressing
insert+f11.
There was also problems with announcing the shut down icon, when pressing
the Windows-key and than arrow right once.
Insert+arrow up could solve this, but all this bug's was solved in Jaws 12,
and now the actual version is Jaws 15, optimized for Windows 8.1.
You can try NVDA or Narrator, NVDA is free, and Narrator is build into
Windows, but from my point of view, Jaws does the best work.
Hans Pauli.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 9 and Windows 7
Does anyone run Jaws version 9.0 with Windows 7? I forwarded the following
questions to Freedom Scientific and they told me Version 9 and Windows 7 are
not compatible. If anyone can help, I would be grateful. Here are the
questions:
Every time I start up my Windows 7 Ultimate Dell Latitude PC, Jaws says that
the Freedom Scientific Mirror Display Driver is not properly instaled. I
have tried rebooting and repairing the instalation using the Jaws 9.0
program CD, but nothing has helped. I even changed the theme to Windows 7
basic theme. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix the problem?
Other problems
In Windows 7, when I press insert f11 to look at the system tray, Jaws says
that it could not find the list of task tray icons.
In certain programs, I cannot see certain parts of the screen, evenn with
the Jaws cursor. For example the Instantbird messaging program will not
update me as to the connection status, whether connecting, not connected,
username sent, password sent, or the amount of time connected, while with
Windows XP all this information is spoken directly with no problems. Also in
the conversation window, I cannot review what I have written. I can,
however, read it once it is sent.
There is just something about Jaws on Windows 7 that is far inferior to XP
and I wish it would stop.
