It is not shutting down properly either. There is a message, Ending Tea Timer.ex. I hit "E" to end the program and then my computer will shut down. JAWS will finally speak as my computer is shutting down. Appreciate any help. I'm sorry if you receive this twice, I might be having trouble with comcast and free lists again.
