Re: [JAWS-Users] Making Avast More Accessible
Hi Chris, Thanks for posting this information. I just un installed AVG 7 point 5, and installed Avast 4 point 8. I did like you said and everything is working great! There was only one thing that was not accessible though. When your ask to type in the 3 digit code, I was unable to find it. But once I was able to get a pair of eyes in the room and get the 3 digit code, things went smoothly. Again, thanks for the posting. Take care, Roger C Bachelder 3rd [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Hallsworth Sent: Friday, May 09, 2008 2:46 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Making Avast More Accessible Hi all, please accept my apologies for the duplicate posts, however I feel that the more people that get the below instructions, the better.

Corey, you have to go to their site and email them and ask for a license key. They are very good in sending it and telling you what to do. There's no graphical box, but they do give you a 60 day trial. Let me know how you make out.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Making Avast More Accessible
Hi all, don't worry about it being private or not, but yes shift F10 will also work. The reason I stated the applications key is that this key is pretty much standard on most modern keyboards, but let me stress that shift F10 *will* work to bring up the skin's context menu.
