Hi List:
I find it very sad that so many people are having problems with JAWS. I
strongly feel that these problems have a lot to do with hardware
compatibility issues. Unfortunately, there are too many configuration
possibilities to probably narrow them down to a single component or a group
of components. Secondly, most of these problems aren't consistent enough to
trace down. Thirdly, FS is not willing to make any recommendations on what
hardware seems to work best with the least amount of problems with JAWS.
They are only willing to give you a list of hardware that (definitely don't
work) with JAWS and no more. When I built my computer and a friends, FS
wouldn't help me beyond what I already mentioned above. I'm, along with my
friend are among the few who are lucky to have minimal problems, if any.
What problems I have had was, for most part, traced to hardware. Don't get
me wrong, JAWS definitely has some bugs and problems working with software.
I wish these bugs would go away and allow me to run mor programs. This is
(just my opinion) and not necessarily proven outside my own experience.
For a reference:
JAWS version 7.0
Windows XP Home edition with SP2
Dell Dimention XPS Gen. 3
3.6Ghz Pentium 4 processor
1Gb DDR2 SDRAM
ATI X800SE video card, (You must use the latest video driver to avoid
problems).
Sound Blaster Audigy2 sound card

I'm not sure I have had a lot of issues with JAWS 7 either. Sometimes I
might have to do an alt tab to get it to focus again but that's about it.
Another thing I do sometimes to get it to focus is to do a windows M and
focus on the desktop and then alt tab back to the program. Otherwise it
seems to be fine.

.Its conforting to hear that others are having performance problems with
.Jaws 7.
.
.not that that's is a good thing. but just got thinking is there any
.common aspect in the windoes xp builds that cause this unstableness of
.Jaws 7.
.
.say has everyone got sp2 installed? at work they haven't put sp2 on our
.systems completely yet, and my jaws 7 locks up and or dies when say
.jumping around to applications or shutting down things like iternet
.explorer, msword etc.
.
.but i've also had these problems at home and am running windows xp home
.with sp2.
.
.I've talked to a couple of Jaws tech support folks but, they say they
.haven't had any of these issues. So what's up?
.
.any ideas out there...
