I learned something yesterday that I thought I'd share here. I use DNS Pro on two monitors, with the second monitor acting as an extended display. I rarely use the DNS mouse commands, but I was playing around yesterday and discovered that the Mouse Window command will work on a window even if it's on the second monitor. This was surprising to me because MouseGrid doesn't have multiple monitor support.

Hope this helps,

I was using mouse commands on two screens and didn't think anything of it.

But I just found out a few days ago that Jaws does not support dual monitors on XP.

Huh. Interesting. I didn't know that, either. Do you know of any screen readers that support dual monitors in XP or Windows 7?

Jaws Tech support for Freedom Scientific said dual monitors are supported in Vista and Windows 7.

It sort of worked in XP, but my computer would crash when I opened certain PDF's.

Some things would work in both Windows, others Jaws would only recognise in the primary Window.

 

I only have Window-Eyes as a demo, but when I tried it out just now it no longer works.
