[jaws-uk] Re: computer query

Paul,

You really don't want to go into msconfig unless you know what you are
doing. You might disable something and screw things up further. Suggest
sighted help or someone who knows what each item is in your start up
list.

I had your shut down scenario with a laptop recently. After the jingle I
realized jaws was still active and when I went to the jaws cursor I
found a message on screen saying something like, downloading updates, do
not shut down  your machine. Just a thought.

Hi all,

Some time ago, I reported a problem in that after shutting down my PC
and 
hearing the closing jingle, the  PC wasn't closing down properly in that
the 
fan was stil running and the only way to switch it off was to hold the 
buttton in on the tower for a few seconds until all went silent.

Whilst this is not a problem to do, it is a little irritating that this 
glitch seems to happen and then right itself for no reason whatsoever.

The other problem is thhat from time to time, either on Outlook or the 
Internet, JAWS keeps repeating certain words such as File or Edit.

The other day, I was chatting to the person who I got my PC from and 
mentioned the above problem.

He suggested that I go into the menu options and at one point select I
htink 
MSconfig.

Can't remember what to do after but I think this process involves moving

things from the system tray.

If others on this list can shed any light and give me further
instructions 
then that would be brilliant.

Thanks

Paul.
