Hi Larry and others, I'm using Windows XP pro, and Jaws 5. After several beeps, it just seems to hang. Sometimes, I have found that continuing to wait results in the process finishing. But quite often, it just hangs. When this happens, Jaws also seems to respond extremely sluggishly. I'm not sure if that offers any clues, but since Jaws never seems sluggish otherwise, I considered it worth mentioning. Cheers, Dave
