Jim - Don't know what is causing the problem. But one suggestion to give you speech back is to bring up Microsoft's Narator via Utility manager and the Windows - U key combination. Typically, Narator is set to start when Windows-U is pressed and this gives you speech output of what is on the screen albeit rather primatively. Using Narator, you can typically read the dialog and buttons. From: "Jimscave" <jimscave@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Work offline and wireless Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2007 10:55:35 +0100 Hiya list, Am running XP Home and jaws 7.10.500 and have been getting on a consistant basis when sometimes i lose wireless connection I get a work offline dialog box asking whether i want to work offline of try again. That parts not so much the problem just sometimes i lose complete speech from Jaws and no matter what i do doesn't seem to come back. My partner who has vision has noticed using the mouse the offline dialog box is up but cause jaws goes quiet I'm stuck when alone here as I don't know what to do. Does anyone here know why this happens? and a way around it? Also if there's something like an error message on the desktop that I cant get too is there a way to bring that dialog box on top again so Jaws reads it?
