Hi, Everybody,

I am using a laptop with windows seven and jaws 12, but I also have a 
desktop with windows vista and jaws 11.

On both machines, I went to www.xfinitytv.com
and tried tochange my location, because the zip code was wrong for some 
reason and therefore I could not get correct TV listings.  Eventually, 
having followed instructions, I reached the word "submit" which might be a 
button or a link; it was above the wqord "cancel."  I entered on "submit" 
but the machines did nothing; I tried to bring the jaws cursor down to the 
word but it would not go neaqrly that far no matter what I tried, including 
maximizing all windows, tabbling, and paging down.

Since I don't have a tactile mouse, is there anything I can do short of 
getting sighted assistance?  I am not sure this bodes well for controlling 
my new DVR from the computer but I won't know till I get the zip right.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Ilene
