MessageHi friends,
Regarding the email background being black, the same colour as the print, By
any chance Paul have you put your screen display appearance to "high contrast
black". I am thinking this in the event you may have some vision and use it to
get an idea of what's on the screen. To To change your screen display:
1. press windows key and select settings. then select control panel from sub
menu and when the control panel window opens select display by pressing letter
"D" a few times and press enter when announced.
2. using the tab and shift keys move between the tab sheets until you find
"Appearance".
3. tab through the appearance sheet (note it may look a bit different in which
ever o.s. you are using i.e. X.P. OR vista so tab around the sheet to get
accustomed to the options.
).
3. jaws will announce "Windows and buttons combo box" adding x.p.-----
style or what ever option you have it set up to. the second combo box called
colour scheme has associated options of designs and can be changed. so look for
windows standard or something similar in the colour scheme option. I hope this
can help and more importantly Paul for god's sake don't print off this email or
you will use off all your Black ink as for some strange reason the printer
works on the same rule of thumb in regard to emails as the old adage about
computers "WYSIWYG" = WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET!
REGARDS
gERRY sHANAHAN.

Hi Paul
Cant remember how to do it myself but what I did when I replied to you was to
go to format Alt+O and down to background and change the background colour to
white but that may not be a permanent fix.

Hi Paul
Just as a matter of interest your mails are coming up on screen as a plain
black background with no print visible. When Tim replied his mail was visible
as white on black or something like that. Of course it reads as it should with
the speech app.

hi tim
when i say jaws is turned off, i mean that i am on my account which runs
jaws at startup, so i can work on the system.
then when a sighted person wants to work, i leave my account active and
just use alt and f4, then ok to close jaws .

Hi,
When you say jaws is turned off, have you unloaded it using the jawsky
+ f4 keystroke?
Have you then closed and re-opened the web browser?

hi folks
when jaws is switched off for the sake of other family members I am
told that they cannot type in a form field or edit box.
when jaws is on I can use the space bar to turn on forms mode but I am
told that what I type is not visible and also if make a mistake typing in lets
say a username or password and press backspace to correct the computer jumps
forward a page on the webpage.
this problem is also relevant when I try to create a new account on the
pc, I can niter the form field to give the new account a name but nothing is
visible when I as in a flashing cursor and I cannot type in either with jaws on
or off.
any ideas
help appreciated.
regards
