Hi! Thanks for this information. I believe I've tried this: interracting with the unknown area, but no text was revealed by doing so. So, am I understanding correctly that conversations won't be read out automatically by voice-over?? Seems a bit tedius. I remember the old days; we're talking 8-10 years ago, when MSN messenger was really popular. Most of the times, Jaws just read messages as they were received, and using the software was almost pleasant; I was in a hogwarts RPG at the time, so used messenger even though I didn't like it much. Then, the group disbanded, or I lost interest; can't remember which. I started having trouble with messenger, especially once I upgraded to xp, and now that I have win 7 and that live stuff is the only option, I just don't want to fool with it. Sorry for the ramble, but I'm just trying to understand. it sounds like Adium isn't going to be quite as useable an alternative as I had hoped. I'm hoping my need for such software is short term indeed. If any of you want to add me on msn, you can do so using my email address: melis...@fuse.net. I'm on yahoo messenger under mitmee_pie, and google talk under mitmee.pie. Facebook is also my email address: melis...@fuse.net. I suppose you could add me to skype too. I'm mitmee_pie there as well. Of course, my ideal for correspondance is twitter, where I'm mitmee_pie, or just good, old-fashioned email. But maybe if some of you techies add me on the other instant messengers, it can help me learn it and understand it a bit better. Missy _____

I have used Facebook and Windows Live with Adium without any issues. Try the following when you notice that someone wrote a message to you: 1. Press vo-left arrow until VOiceover says: Unknown. Interact here, and press vo-fn-shift-right arrow to go to the last message in the log... Or what this command does is go to the bottom of the area in which you are at.

This is my first post to the group. I've only had my macbook pro for about 6 weeks now, and freely admit that I don't know much about it yet. Over all, I can get it to do what I want most of the time, but I'm writing because I'm having a very frustrating problem. I'm not very much into the social networking thing. I do, in fact, only use twitter on a regular basis on my PC. Well, for several reasons that aren't particularly relevant, I need to try to use some other instant messengers, at least short term. I don't want any of the windows live junk on my main pc, so decided that if I do any instant messaging at all, I'll use the mac. It will be good practice and keep clutter off my main computer. Well, I've installed the newest version of adium, and have hooked it up with msn, facebook, google chat and yahoo messenger. All of my contacts are there, but I can't actually have conversations with them. I was trying to test it with a friend just now, and she doesn't receive my messages, and I can't read her responses. At the moment, I'm just really, really glad Adium was free, because unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible, it isn't VO-friendly at all. Still, I know a lot of folks, especialy on twitter swear by it, so clearly, I'm missing something. Are there configuration options I need to change? The menus don't work very well, but I can try to figure them out if I know what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide, and I hope that everyone is having a great day!
