Hi,

I'll investigate it then. (and, I'm not Brian.)

Hi Brian,

 

there is a folder in jAWS called "dump", where helpful debug information is
stored regarding all JFW-related crashes.

It is usually found in something like \username\documents and
settings\application data\freedom scientific\JAWS\xxx\settings.

Inside this folder, there are .dmp files, which might help FS diagnose the
problem.

I don't think that the Windows error reporting will help here.

 

Regards,

Nermin

Hi,

The only viable option would be using Microsoft Narrator to read the screen.
Or, if you have Window-Eyes, you can use that. For me, I have a backup
Korean screen reader that I use when JAWS crashes.

Cheers,

Jospeh

Hi Joseph,

 

Thanks for the message. I just unloaded and reloaded JAWS because it was
having trouble reading the window I was in, and when JAWS came back up I saw
that Microsoft windows dialog. I looked at it more closely than I usually
do, and the only button I see is a close program button. I've never seen a
send error report button when anything has crashed in vista, be it Internet
Explorer or JAWS or whatever. Haven't tried logging off and then back on
yet, though.

 

I don't see any kind of error code anywhere in that dialog that comes up, so
I don't know if virtualizing the window and copying what's on the screen to
a file would help. Is there a keystroke I can do within that dialog that
might grab some info that might help FS figure out what's going on?

 

Thanks,

Brian
