problems when starting and restarting JAWS

Re: statement when jaws starts ---

I say, this has been a jolly good and interesting thread indeed. And when I 
have the time, I intend to try it, see if it might just put a little life into 
my JAWS startup.

Now, I wonder if anyone can say something about this as it relates to another 
JAWS startup issue...

When in my house we start and stop JAWS, is this a problem?
My wife who is sighted will turn it off, then I turn it back on again, you see.
I wondered if this creates issues for a pc.

On another, older desktop pc we have, the problem is on that one, that if I 
ever do close JAWS, it will not restart, not without a reboot.
Can you think of why this might be so? 

On all my systems I am up to date with using the latest JAWS version and 
updates. And I am using XP Pro for my OS.

Thanks in advance for any info and suggestions.

Richard

Sir, I maybe missed the follow ups on this topic. Where do you put this code? 
In the default.jss?

I had the same error.

here is what I did to fix it.

replace the first line of the script you coppied with the one below.

just change the name from Rob to your name.

Say ("Welcome Rob,", OT_message)

 

it seems that a coma after the quote sign was missing.

    Alice, my instructions are very much the same as what Bob posted. His were 
better in point form, but I have posted the instructions I use below, which I 
believe I got from the old jfwlite list. I added the first line as a welcome 
message but you certainly can omit this first line. If you do want to have a 
message you can put whatever you want in here. Hope this helps and if you want 
write me off the list at:

    Announce Jaws version number and Date and Time on Load

    If you have more than one version of Jaws on your system, sometimes it is 
easy to get confused what version is loaded.  This script will say the number 
of Jaws that you are using, plus it will say the date and time when you first 
load jaws. 

    Press jaws key+0
    press control+shift+d to get to the default script file, 
    Press control L for the script list and arrow down to AutoStartEvent and 
enter. You are now in the auto start event script 

    arrow down to the line that says 

    let DefaultFirstTime = 1
    Go to the end of that line and enter and after that line paste in the 
following lines.  Of course change the version number to reflect the version  
and build of Jaws you are making the script change for.


    Say ("Welcome Shannon , ")
    Say ("Version 10", OT_message)
    Say ("Loaded on", OT_Message)
    SayUsingVoice (VCTX_PCCursor, SysGetDate (), OT_No_Disable)
    Say ("at", OT_Message)
    SayUsingVoice (VCTX_PCCursor, SysGetTime (), OT_No_Disable)

     

    Then press control S to compile the script and alt f4 to leave the script 
manager.
