[jaws-uk] Re: JAWS repeating "equals" every second

I doubt it is the windows clock that is doing it especialy if you have
screen echo set to "highlighted" which is its default possition.  

One case I recall was with certain wireless keyboards sometimes whatever
method the software kept in touch with the wireless keyboard would cause
random characters to be spoken, has a wireless keyboard been added.

One thing I am reasonably certain of is that it is not a JAWS problem
but something else that I going on with the system that JAWS is
inadvertently showing up as a spoken equals sign.

Regards.

It's not simply a keystuck down on the keyboard?

Are you showing the clock in the system tray? I mean the windows clock?
You can hide this in the taskbar properties. jaws will still give you
the time with the

JawsKey+F12

keystroke even if the clock is not visible.
