Hello,
First of all letme say that it is good being back on the list. I belonged
to it for a long time until several years ago, I had my hard drive to crash
two times in one year and I was very reluctant to load anything on the new
one that I didn't really have to have!
Now that I have Jaws 11 installed, I feel I need some feed back from other
users!
I have had trouble downloading NLS from the NLS web site. The book will
start down loading quite nicely and then all at once it would counting
backing backwards with each number being preceded bya minus sign. When it
reached zero, it would start counting back upwards again with a plus sign
preceding the number. This procedure would repeat itself and eventually
it would actually finish the download, but it took over 3 or 4 times as
long as it should have done.
There were a number of unrequested sound requests binging and bonging all
over the place, I could not find the place to change the perminent speed of
the speech. I did find the change on the fly command and had to do it
manually every time I loaded Jaws! also whenever I briefly hesitated
typing, the program would go into some sort of hybernation and it gave me a
command to resum speech.
There were other such weird problems with the program, and I just got sick
and tired of dealing with such stupididy. I reverted back to Jaws 10 and
all is well, but I have wasted a free upgrade and wonder if there is anyway
to correct these problems?
I truly hope that some of you out there have some suggestions as how to do
so!
I'm eagerly awaiting your suggestions!
Ed,
