Hi Michael, Could you give us some idea of when this happens, is it at random or when jaws starts for the first time or when you open a particular application?

Hi all, Can anyone help with the following query please? Since upgrading to Jaws 10, I have noticed that Jaws seems to lose power and fall silent for a few seconds, then I hear a low rising humming sound and Jaws then regains it's power and then speaks again? Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon? and if so, is there anything I can do to rectify this irksome problem? I have not had this problem with previous versions of Jaws. As well as using Jaws 10, I have XP Home. Many thanks, Michael. The kindness you spread today will be gathered up and returned to you tomorrow.
