Hi Wendy -

Well, yes, this is pretty much what was happening to me, in that WMP would 
unload JFW, and I use to be able to use a hot key to get it back, but I find 
now, there are times when even this doesn't work, but I'll look at the 
website, so thanks for posting it -

Andy

| Are you using JAWS?  You mention Windows Media Player and your computer
| freezing.  I wonder whether it is the same problem as I have with WMP. 
When
| I launch WMP it somehow unloads JAWS, thus leaving me with no speech
| wondering where to go.  At first I thought it was a computer hang, but 
when
| I pressed windows key and M for the desktop and then J for JAWS, JAWS was
| reloaded.
|
| The other day I found an extremely comprehensive guide to using WMP on the
| following site:

| .html
|
| Many thanks to the author, and I think, Andy, you may find some 
explanation
| of the problem, as there are some bugs in WMP which David warns about and
| gives tips.
|
| I do hope this helps.

| Hi George -
|
| This feels a bit scary then, if I listen to some people, they say "make 
sure
|
| all your drivers are up to date" but in the case of the ATI drivers it 
sound
|
| best to leave well alone. I'm trying to sort out this problem I have when
| trying to rip music cds, or use Windows Media Player, where my PC keeps
| freezing, and was wondering if the ATI drivers might be causing the 
problem?
|
| The scan of my PC for drivers produced an update driver for my serial bus;
| could installing this create problems too?
|
| These websites recommending an update to drivers make it all sound so 
easy,
| but it isn't in reality <smile> -

|| Hi Andy,
||
|| You don't need to uninstall the old ATI drivers, but I'd be
|| a shade wary about installing new video drivers without
|| sighted help to hand. It will most likely break the video
|| chain to your screen reader, leaving you without speech, and
|| the necessity to re-install your screen reader.

||
|| Hi all -
||
|| I'm pasting my message from yesterday here again, as it got
|| no responce, and
|| I'm sure there are people on this list that can help, so
|| please do if you
|| can, it's always apreciated.
||
|| Start of message:
||
|| Hi all -
||
|| Ok, a scan of my PC tells me that certain drivers need
|| updating, and I'm
|| trying to understand quite what to do, and what I need to
|| download!
||
|| When I click on the link from driveragent.com to update the
|| driver, the page
|| that comes up says:
||
|| "The following packages will provide display drivers and
|| capture drivers
|| that can be used with various video capture programs."
||
|| And then it lists what is in the package, the first thing
|| being the display
|| driver, is this all I'll need, or will I need the rest of
|| the package that
|| includes things like 'catalyst control centre' or the 'WDM
|| Integrated
|| Driver.'
||
|| Can I ask too, if I need to uninstall from 'add/remove'
|| within the control
|| panel, the existing ati drivers that these updates are to
|| replace?
||
|| Thanks as ever -
||
|| Andy
