  I've been telling Fs about how I have Windows Vista Home premium 64 bit. My 
problem is Jaws won't tell me the names of the tracks when I hit the b key. 
They told me they didn't know what the problem was. I'm begginning to loose my 
patience with them as well.

  Preach  it  brother! I  had  some  problem  with  an  earlier  version  of  
Jaws and  winamp. I  wrote  and  called  Fs  and  told  them  my  problem. I  
let  them  hear  from  my  computer  the  problem. They  fixed  the  problem  
they  told  me  where  to  go  in the  task  manager. If  you  don't  hear  
from  them  after  writing  you  might  want to  call  them  and  let  them  
hear  it  for  themselves  from  your  end!

    This has got to be incredibly frustrating, I was able to switch to 
Window-eyes, and I'm very glad I did. I'm not saying that to start the old JAWS 
verses window-eyes debate cause haven't we been down that road more times than 
we care to count?    Bottom line, FS needs to fix this, and many other problems 
with JAWS.  I mean, JAWS's interaction with Winamp should not cause this type 
of problem, especially when other screenreaders don't exhibit the same sort of 
behavior.  You should be able to close Winamp whenever the hell you want to, 
you should not have to kill it from the task manager!
    the average user doesn't even know what, or where the task manager is, how 
to kill a running process, or any other problem of that sort.  Ok i'm shutting 
up right now because I'm not trying to cause fights on here.  Just speaking my 
mind.  I hope it's not a problem for everyone using JAWS 11.
     If you are experiencing this, write to FS and tell them, and don't quit 
until the problem is actually addressed.

      Hi Folks,
       
      I do not know if this is the case with earlier versions of JAWS, but with 
JAWS 11 and Winamp 5.57, there is the return of the problem wherein JAWS holds 
elements of Winamp in memory for anywhere from several seconds to several 
minutes after you exit the Winamp program.  The exact detailed nature of this 
old issue is quite complex so I won't give any detailed report in this post.  
It suffices to say that at least on my system and a few other people I have 
spoken to, that if you exit Winamp and then a few seconds to a few minutes 
later, you decide to load another file into Winamp by clicking on it from a 
folder on your hard drive, that Winamp will not load and the file will not 
play.  You must go to the task manager and kill the Winamp process to rectify 
the problem.
       
      Using any other screen reader, Window-Eyes, NVDA, System Access, I do not 
experience this problem.
