Hi Donna
As you know I use magnification to see the screen. But I also change the
windows colours to high contrast. I often use jaws to read emails as it
would take me forever to do it by eye. The only draw back is that changing
the colours causes outlook to do some strange things. For instance it will
keep reading a sentence over and over as I am typing it. Each time I type a
new word in the sentence it is read all over again. The same is true in
word. there are numerous quirks that occur through changing the colours.
I'm just wondering if somehow your colours or some other aspect of the
windows appearance has been changed causing this weird problem.
Just an idea? Would be worth checking.
Darren.

Subject: [access-uk] Serious problem with JAWS
Hi List, I'm at my wit's end to know what to do! I'm having a serious
problem with JAWS.
Quite often, JAWS is repeating a word or phrase and not stopping. Even if
I press control or alt f4, it still carries on, and the only way I can
stop it is to do a complete re-boot.
I phoned Triss at Sight and Sound and he was really helpful and advised me
to go through the systems settings for JAWS for Windows XP which I did. I
run Service pack 2 by the way.
However, this has made no difference. I've done a repair, and also a
complete re-install of JAWS 7 and the same thing has happened.
I can't help thinking that this problem wasn't there before they put in my
new hard drive. I know they updated the mother board bios for me, but I
just can't think how to stop this problem from occurring and what it could
be. Has anyone else ever had this with JAWS? This is the first time I've
ever encountered such a problem, and it can't do my computer any good to
keep re-booting all the time.
