Hi Cher,
I now have NVDA installed just for the specific reason of having an
alternate screen reader if Jaws crashes and I won't have to use Narrator.
There are no conflicts between NVDA and Jaws. I use the same voice with
NVDA as I do with Jaws, which is Reed. Once you have downloaded and install
NVDA press the insert + N keys to access the preferences menu and in there
is where you choose what synthesizer and voice you would like. Below are 2
places you can download NVDA from. The second is probably the easier of the
two.

Or you can download NVDA 0.6P2, the current working version at:

Hope this has helped. Take care.
Mike

Unfortunately, it is very common to lose Narrator if JAWS crashes on these
DELL desktops at work. Yes, I use windows-U to bring up Narrator.
I was not asking if JAWS was better than Narrator, but if you are saying
that some of the basic screen readers work better than Narrator when JAWS
crashes. Thanks.
Cher
