yeah, you're right. I just thought maybe someone knew. If you're an I T pro, 
for example-- and isn't anyone here a computer professional?-- that's not 
really rocket science, as they say. We just don't know the answer, 
ourselves. Okay. I'll ask 'em.

Stalwartly,

Yardbird,

I believe FS is essentially using your PC, as it has been mine, as a test
subject. In that light, I suggest you ask this question directly of the FS
rep you've been consulting. I had the same reaction and question, but didn't
need to get to the question and so don't have the answer.

Hi,

I'm resigned to spending a couple of hours or whatever it takes to try to
comply with FS tech support's requests that I launch my Jaws 8 in default
mode so as to not involve any changes I may have made to default.jcf in my
personal (Admin, in my case) file.

I've tried this out briefly, but as it will take a lot of time to run
through each and every scenario in which Jaws does something wrong, I really
hate the idea of doing all this at the low speech rate that you get until
you change it in the voice options in the Jaws window, which is the first
thing I usually do after installing.

What I'd like to know, if the technically experienced can advise, is will
making no more modifications than speeding up the speech rate blow the
entire experiment? I mean, this won't involve me going into Configuration
manager to make "serious" changes,which I suppose would create an
increasingly complex default.jcf. Just the speech rate.

Anybody know if that one tweak would be okay, or would it ruin the whole
thing in a diagnostic sense? Thanks.
