Hi all, I am new to this list, just joined today. my name is Debbie. I've been using jaws for 9 years now. I teach adaptive software on computers at Fullerton Community College. I have been on previous jaws lists in the past but lost contact during moves and or computer crashes. Anyway, At work, we are on a network; where as at home I'm on a stand alone laptop. I have a problem for which I cannot seem to solve. If this is a problem previously discussed on this list, I am sorry. Then please lead me to the archives. The problems I will describe are periodical. Sometimes jaws won't load or is loaded but not speaking. There is no icon in either the systray or task bar. But, I can find the executable file in the task manager. This occurs when I have Kurzweil 1000 v. 9 installed on my system. Once I uninstall Kurzweil, jaws seems to have no problem. I am running on Windows xp, serpac 1, professional. My order of installation was: ZT, jaws 6 from jaws 5.1, and K-3000, K-1000. I do not have anything starting automatically upon boot. I guess that is it in a nutshell. Any help anyone can lend is greatly appreciated.
