Hi all, Around three weeks ago, I was upgraded to Windows 7 and JAWS 15 in work. Generally things are going well, however I have sevarl queries and wonder if anyone on hear can shed any light please. whilst reading through a word document or lengthy Email, I usually press insert and numpad 3, so as not to have to keep down arrowing. since the upgrades, i've noticed that JAWS 15 has a tendency to go silent after every few lines, and then resumes speaking again. Sometimes, it will stop and I have to either down arroe or press insert numpad 3 to kick start JAWS. The other oddity also relates to reding lots of text. for some reason, JAWS 15 will start talking slowly for a few seconds and then revert back to the speed I have set it at, which for the record is around 45 per cent. When JAWS is talking slowly, it sounds a bit like one of those commercial radio sweeper jingles, where the voice has been electronically slowed down, making the voice sound distorted and stretched. If anyone has any ideas on how I can stop either or both above issues, then please do let me know. I should point out that as yet, i'm not on JAWS 15 at home. Thanks Paul. ** 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
