Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE I think Maria's two cents is worth a lot of consideration. As an example, a couple days ago I could not get the edit fields to work in Excel 2007. I unloaded Jaws 16 and ran an earlier version that I know worked just fine with Excel, but no luck. I called FS Tech Support and they said it was the shared components that were causing the problem. The suggestion was to uninstall JAWS 16 along with the shared components and then reinstall 16 from FS's site. Now, I'm sure this is a good plan, but in my situation I have to go through a lengthy and difficult process to get admin rights to do this stuff, and the time it takes to uninstall and reinstall etc. is not what I'd call a productive use of resources. My boss understands this stuff, so I'm fortunate in that respect, but I'm sure that there are a lot of workplaces out there where wasting employer's time would be seriously frowned upon.

However, even though each big upgrade of JAWS is a separate program, they share components. As each program is removed or newly installed, I believe these shared components get corrupted at some point, creating the many issues discussed on the list. I, for one, never know whether or not to leave or remove shared components with each new upgrade. My issue with JAWS 16 is that it never installed with default settings, but rather looks as if it merged with God knows whit version of JAWS on my computer. It seems to me that FS should figure out how to keep each version from affecting another. Just my two cents. -- Sunny Day Maria Campbell luc...@ct.metrocast.net Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
