Ding dong Dorothy! The dong is the Windows error sound, or warning sound. From part of your description below, it seems that your disk scanning was interrupted, possibly by Windows telling you that "Scandisk has restarted 10 times or more" or wording similar to that, "would you like to continue and ignore this warning"? In those circumstances, if you see a yes button, click it. The thing will then proceed, albeit more slowly than it should, but it will. So, if you see a questionin the middle of the screen, try to answer it positively yes! I don't know if that was helpful. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dorothy Ingram-Gorban" <user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 6:13 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] Floror anyone Dong? If you answer Flor I promise you no Greek but it is Greek tometome. The Dong. Now I lost Jaws for the first time completely and that hasn't happened ever before.. I did a Defrag for the first time that did not cause trouble. I found that by accident trying to get rid of the Magnifier.. the next day I did a full system scan no problems. other than Jaws lying as usual about all-in sight and then Dong Dong and in the middle of the screen a yellow triangle. inside ita question mark. Now I am sure others must have this Dong it is like a bang on a drum I assume I have been interrupted in Mid-task and backtrack. I do all I have learned to move the problem see if it is hanging into something think I am going to lose. I do Alt and I do this. Control Alt and delete and tab to end task and then the Applications key. Normally one-off them works at time I backtrack into Kurzweil and power down completely as you can. This and nothing worked so I then did what I don otlike doing I pressed the tower.. When I put it on again the same Dong . It seems as Andrew phoned me that as we want through all programmes Jaws wasn't there. I must have uninstalled it.. What do I want to know in your vast experience what is the best way to put things right if the thing is stuck and all you get is the deadly Dong Dong. I have never loaded Jaws and was scared to try but in the end did put in one disc and got speech but then took it out again as I though I might do more harm than Good. All is all is saying as it did unread and nothing true not one word of truth Tony can find he says and that Jaws is lying.. Well what's new he has done that ever since I can remember but the Gong sorry Dong. any ideas and neat little tricks . Incidentally I am holding the Zip in the Inbox for the laptop just my luck to buy the Toshiba with an " issue" however Andrew yours has the same issue if you are listening or back at home today the L 1010 needs a fix for the sound issue.. Just luck to get that Model.. Dorothy Sorry flor have mentioned another problem. However that " issue " gave me 8 months of grief and you mayknow others who have it. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
