Oh yeah, JAWS can care a lot. Sometimes our mainframe app flips, and it's a real mess. Much of what you need to see scrolls off the right-hand side. I think we resolve it through the View screen. In all these years, I've never had a problem with the screen itself, all applications, but I'm familiar with the control-pannel module about which he spoke.

Cc: Nicole Massey Subject: RE: Screen rotation. Right, though I've got things set up so I can shut down Jaws and restart it again with no problems, and this only comes up when a sighted person tries to use my screen -- I couldn't care less about the rotation when I use it as Jaws doesn't care about it at all from what I've experienced, and I don't know there's a problem unless a sighted person, who is on hand to make sure it's rotated correctly, is telling me about it. So though it's handy to be able to do this without sighted assistance as one more accessibility issue resolved, it's not something I can imagine comes up without sighted persons involved. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Greg > Nickel via Jfw > Sent: Saturday, April 25, 2015 5:59 PM > To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.' > Cc: Greg Nickel > Subject: RE: Screen rotation. > > Hey Nicole. > > Tim's suggestion gets it done without shutting off JAWS. > > Windows + M or D to desktop then take focus off any icons then open > the context menue shift + f10 then to graphic options and to rotate screen. > > I can't see the orientation so for me this indicates that I've set it > to "normal" orientation.... > -----Original Message----- > From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nicole > Massey via Jfw > Sent: Saturday, April 25, 2015 3:47 PM > To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.' > Cc: Nicole Massey > Subject: RE: Screen rotation. > > Yes, this happens on my non-Dell machine with an Intel graphics > adapter as well.
