If you are running Widows7 & this keystroke is not working, you might have to change the Theme in the Theme Gallery to Windows Classic. Below is how to change this. 1. While on the desktop press the F5 key to make sure that nothing is selected. 2. Press the applications key, arrow down to Personalize & press enter. 3. You will now be in the Themes Gallery. here the different themes are in columns. To find the Windows Classic Theme, arrow down to Windows7 Basic, & right arrow 1 time, this should place you on Windows Classic now, just press enter. One other thing to suggest is, did you route the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor, press the page-up button to take the cursor to the top of the page, to see if the symbols are there?! I know you are a very knowledgeable computer user & know about what I've mentioned above but, I just thought I would throw in my 2 cents worth in case you overlooked something. Take care. Mike P. S., Please let the list know how you finally get this resolved. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Martyn To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.' Sent: Monday, March 05, 2012 7:26 PM Subject: JAWS not speaking the minimize maximize and close symbol While doing some testing on some software, I noticed on another computer that it doesn't read the minimize maximize and close button symbols at the top of the window, it only reading the title of the window. This window does not close with alt+F4 either and I need to click the close button. It is doing this for all applications on this system so the JAWS cursor doesn't see the buttons. Has anyone encountered this issue and possibly a fix?
