Hi, as I just said, I wonder whether the "pausing" of JAWS when closing files comes from using a software synthesizer or because of Service Pack 2. I would make a guess that Service Pack 2 plus JAWS 6 helps create the situation when jAWS halts or pauses or hesitates in speaking when closing files or arrowing through list view of files. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
