Agreed.
And along those lines, here's a message that posted to the midimag in the 
middle of August. If you guys have problems with Jaws, here is one avenue to 
follow.

  I was in no way minimizing the importance of solving the problems folks are 
having running jaws and/or our software.  What I don't want to see here is the 
FS bashing that these discussions often degenerate into.

    Gord,
    These are real issues that folks are having. 

    I know that you have a magic wand and everything works fine for you. But 
that's obviously not the case for everyone else, I can tell by the sheer volume 
and attention that this thread has gotten.

    I agree that more solutions should be forthcoming, but telling someone that 
it works fine for you is neither constructive nor helpful. 
    To stop trying to find resolutions for problems that folks are having on 
the Dancing Dots 
    list, will serve noone.

    In order to properly look ahead, you must remember or at least be reminded 
of where you've been.

      Ok guys!   Cool it!  FS has been very supportive to us at dancing dots 
and we can't have this on our list.  If Jaws is crashing on a regular basis, 
enable DR Watson and try to find out what's going on in the log file.  If you 
see any ment9ion of jfw.exe, send it along to FS.  That's all I'm going to say 
bout it.

          Freedom Scientific is never helpful and really does a poor job of 
helping with tech support!

            For me it's not only with Sonar. It happens with any application 
randomly, and you're right; the only way to get it to work often times is to 
reboot.

              Hi Guys,

              I am having a similar problem with Sonar 5 and JFW 7.1

              It doesn't fix unless I totaly reboot.

                Any info or ideas would be much appreciated.

                Hey Omar,

                Funny you should mention that.  The same thing has been 
happening on my computer the last two months and it appears to be getting worse.

                Often, when JAWS crashes, the computer will make a sound which 
sounds like a single note on a Marimba: 
                DOINK.
                The shortcut for bringing up jaws will not work and neither 
will going to the start menu and trying to bring up jaws.  In the past, if I 
closed all applications and hit the escape key a few times, the shortcut (alt; 
control; J) would bring jaws back up, but, it would not be fully functional 
until I closed it and brought it up again.  Now, even that is not working very 
often.

                I wrote to our friends at Freedom Scientific who said it 
sounded as if jaws was losing focus, perhaps because of ad where or spy where.  
However, eye ran my Auntie spy software and it did not help.

                I have a powerful computer I purchased from Dancing Dots
                .  I don't really believe the answer Freedom Scientific wrote 
me about.  They also suggested I may have to reinstall jaws which I'm not 
looking forward to doing with Sonar.  I'm using jaws 5.1.

                Any other ideas would be helpful.  Thanks.

                Regards,
                Ross
