I know it is narrator I was running as I typed it out by hand in the run
dialog.
But alas, I don't know how to update my display driver as I don't know what
it is or where to look. Ok, you might say I should go to the divice driver
tab of the system dialog and arrow around, but even if I update it, doesn't
it ask where to look to find the thing? And if I have no cd's for this
laptop -- it came with no cd's -- where do I go to find it?
Anyway, thanks.

Hi there,
My humble opinion is that you need to update the display driver. The error
witht eh chain manager means that there is something going wrong witht eh
graphics driver. And the thing about Narator at Run dialog: probably you
might be press ENTER at "jaws8" instead of Narator (try Windows key+U and
see what happens). Also, after updating the graphics driver, try
uninstalling and reinstalling JAWS 8 (or better yet, JAWS 9).
Cheers,
Joseph
