Hi, This is quite interesting. Since I installed 8.0on two occasions jaws started as if it was in an echo chaimber. I think that there two copies launched. What is weird that say line or say word is ok. Next or previous and say all echos. I did an insert f4 and one copy of jaws stopped. Jaws still talked a little but I really could nothing with the computer. a reset corrects the problem. As I said this happened twice only since 8.0. I am using xp home with all updates?
