Good luck.  I've found JAWS 7.0 to be pretty good, maybe I've been lucky
as there are some people having problems.  From what you say, I guess
you've just installed it today?  Trist will sort you out.

Hi Jonathan,
 
Susp[Suspect I'll have to give Tris a ring as as far as I can tell
display settings are all ok, no screensavers etc.  Have switched to Jaws
6 and so far so good but that's hardly a proper solution!!
 
Thanks anyway,
 
Phil

I've not heard of this happening with JAWS 7.  I'm using it now, with XP
Pro and it's fine.  Have you checked your display settings?
Specifically, the theme - Windows Classic is best, turn off any screen
saver and set the appearance to Classic.  If it's better after this,
cool.  If not, give Trist at Sight and Sound a call - he usually does
the trick.

Hi,
 
Apologies for sending this to access-uk but not currently subscribed to
jaws-uk.
 
Am using Jaws 7 with Win XP pro.  Have noticed this morning that when in
Outlook Jaws on occasions stops reading message titles when in 'message
list' and same with menu items etc on ohter applications.  Have also
just experienced when writing this message that when trying to cursor
back & forward to read through message text jaws stopped speaking text.
Is this a specific known jaws 7 problem.   Seems to be fine if I unoad
Jaws and then restart it however I've had to do so several times just to
get this message done.
 
Your help greatfully appreciated.
 
Cheers,
 
Phil
