Try reinstalling the CakeTalking scripts. Jaws has somehow been set to update data when it's not meant to. cheers Darren ----- Original Message ----- From: Steven Jeffrey To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2009 9:55 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Strange New Problem With JAWS In Sonar Dave and DJX, Those tips sounded promising, thought for sure they'd fix it... bummer, it's still doing it. One thing I noticed, when I minimized Sonar to get to the task bar, JAWS did stop anouncing the numbers/% thing, but as soon as I switched back to Sonar, JAWS started doing it again. Any other suggestions? Thanks, Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: D!J!X!

Just encase you have icons that aren't frequently used but that you'd like to have on the tray still.

Can you try to use the customize feature in the Task Bar? Best to do this while you have a MIDI project open and perhaps even running. minimize Sonar. Highlight the start button Alt+Enter to open Task Bar properties Tab until you hear hide inactive icons and check this. Then tab to the customize button and press it. Then in the list you can arrow up/down the various icons and if you find the one showing MIDI activity, right arrow to open the status list. Then arrow down until you have always hide as the choice. then arrow left again to keep this status. Then find OK and enter, and Ok after that to save. See if that does it.

In the project I'm currently working on, it's all audio tracks until bar 19. A few bars after the MIDI kicks in, JAWS still says, 16%, 14%, 9% etc... I have no idea why JAWS is now doing this... it must of not liked the move LOL. Thanks for the suggestions, any other thoughts?

After opening up a project, and hitting space to play it, JAWS will start announcing things like, 9%, 15%, 13%, 16% etc... From what I can tell, it seems to be linked to projects that have MIDI. I rechecked all the connections and all is fine, so am not real sure why this is all of the sudden happening. Any thoughts? Thanks, Steve
