Laura,
But if you have a JAWS crash, Narrator is sometime all you have. Good in a
pinch.

I sugest you do not use Narrator. It is pretty crappy. I think that Window
eyes or system access are better screen readers.

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
