Hi, Don't know if anyone can help me solve a rather infuriating problem. I have just recently installed Jaws 7.0 and it works for a while, then suddenly it will stop speaking, the only way I can get it to speak again, is to shut down and reboot, although this is a little inconvenient, it has, as yet, caused no real problem, but I have my next OU assignment due soon, and I am concerned that this strange behaviour, might occur during writing my assignment and before I get chance to save it. I have tried using the hot keys, but to all intents and purposes, Jaws is still running, it just isn't speaking, hope someone can throw some light on this.
