[jaws-uk] Re: the computer keeps saying

Yes, the icons give us the clue.  It sounds like your displays drivers 
aren't working properly.  The funny speech is from the bottom of the 
Microsoft Word window and this occurs in one of two situations.

The first is that under "display" in the "settings" tab, under the 
"advanced" button somebody or perhaps just windows has dragged down the 
hardware acceleration slider.  This should normally be at 100 percent, 
whereas if it is set lower you can often get that problem.

The second possibility is that the display drives have either become 
uninstalled or damaged in some way.  The easiest method to rectify this 
situation is to locate some drivers for the card to re-install, preferrably 
updated drivers.

You can usually find such from the graphic chip/card manufacturers website.

Subject: [jaws-uk] the computer keeps saying


can any one help?

while I was on the internet the other night jaws just suddenly stopped 
talking, and
to make things worse I accidentally hit the mouse, obviously I don't ever 
use the
mouse and it just sits there purely for sighted folks to use, I rebooted the 
computer
but ever since every time I open or close any programs or documents it keeps 
saying
rec tr ks ovr.


I think this is correct as it is very hard to make out just exactly what 
jaws is
saying and it is not possible to use the arrow keys to go letter by letter.

My partner Joe who has very little sight say's that the icomms on the desk 
top  are
bigger than before also the colour is different.

can any one tell me just what i've done and help me out please?
Best Regards Susan.
