[JAWS-Users] Form fields disappeared
Hi everyone: I was helping a friend update his antivirus on his laptop and discovered that, on many web sites, Jaws is not saying the edit field. On Google.com, for example, if I press the letter E, it will go to the place where the search field should be. Instead of saying "search edit," though, it simply says blank. The search area sounds like this: search, blank, blank, search button. Pressing spacebar or enter does nothing. I have tried it with other web sites and it seems to work with some, like gmail and freedomscientific, but not others, like amazon or Yahoo, where it does the exact same thing I just described about Google. He has a Toshiba laptop, Windows home premium, and Jaws 9, latest version. I ran two repairs on jaws, and then I completely removed and did a clean install of Jaws, all to no avail. I have never experienced anything like this before. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Deanne, If he is running Vista 32 Bit Jaws9 will work but, if he's running Vista 64 bit or any Windows7 operating system, whether it is 32 or 64 bit, he needs a minimum of Jaws10, to my understanding ! If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me. Hope this helped. Take care.

Hello, It has been my experience that JAWS 9 does not work well with Internet Explorer 9. If you have the option, you can roll back to IE 8. Otherwise, you will need to install JAWS 10 or higher.
