Re: [Blind-Computing] Monitor is on, but no picture
Try disconnecting the monitor from the computer.

When I hold the JAWS key and the number 5 on the number row, it does tell me what colors have printed on doc files and such. To be honest, I really do not know where I can take it to test the monitor. I thought perhaps something got messed up in my Display Settings, and although I am not that familiar with all which is in that, as I tab through, I saw nothing I thought was not correct or needed changing. Thanks so much David.

Also not to sound like a broken record but make certain that all cables are connected properly. It might even be possible that your video card has gone bad. Definitely try testing that monitor on another system such as take it to a friend's house if you have to and see if it works at that point. You need to verify that it is the monitor or the card before you make any other decision.

No, this Dell is the only computer I have. It was purchased the end of 2007 so basically is only 4 years old. I could kick myself for not renewing the Extended Warrantee last November, as I did the previous year, but it was getting expensive, and I never had a problem with this Dell System! Thanks again.

It is turned on, and gets warm like usual, my JAWS reads whatever program I go to just fine, but I have no picture. I am using XP-Home, JAWS 11, and I have a Dell System Model OptiPlex 745. All the cables and wires seem connected just fine, and as I said, the monitor even has the little signal lights on by all the buttons, of which there is only 1 I know what is for, the off / on button, which I never touch. But turning this button off and on just gives me the sound signal that it always did. Anyone have any ideas? If the monitor did not get warm like it always did, I would think it burned out, but as I said it does and so have no clue. I can use the computer, but some times I need my better half to look at things for me or she uses my computer to do things, so need a monitor that one can see! I appreciate any thoughts.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Using JFW in a Virtual Call Center environment.
It all depends on the specific software being used. There is no reason that it should not work, but frequently the proprietary software employs non-standard controls and other things that JAWS cannot handle easily without scripting.

If so, what problems if any did you have with JFW. What about other screen readers?

Re: [Blind-Computing] Scanning organizing bills
I have done some testing with one of the Neat systems (I don't recall which one, and the person who had it is on vacation) and my results with JAWS 10 were somewhat favorable. It has been a year or so, so my memories are not as fresh as they could be. As I recall, there were a couple of places where I had to label buttons and/or use the JAWS Cursor, but over-all, it worked reasonably well.
