amro I am still wondering if it is possible to find out just what you do
have running at start up and if there is a way of telling the amount of
power you are using, it almost sounds as if not sufficient power is reaching
your Pc at the moment you need it, today for some reason my Desktop started
to make a rattling sound when I was not actually doing anything, as if an
update was coming in I checked but last was July and not till next
Wednesday will August batch come in. there must be a way of telling if your
P C is
working to full capacity, but I am not technical does Jaws load up after
Microsoft? Maybe you have too much running at start up, you could ask Graham
this he seems knowledgeable Dorothy

Hi Graham,
Thanks for that but I only have one audio device on this machine which's my
motherboard's soundcard. I've just updated my audio drivers as well but that
didn't make any different. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Cheers,
Amro

Amro do you have more than one sound device? Maybe you have 2 sound
cards, a sound card and a skype phone or something like this. JAWS can be a
bit odd sometimes about which device it actually defaults to using and there
is an FAQ with the solution to this which I will add below as finding the
thing on the website can be a bit of a pain. If this is not the problem
then of course ignore what is below.
In the original faq it talks about installing an updated version of
e'loquence. This is not required for most users now so I have got rid of
reference to it in the information below.

Product Name: JAWS
Version: 4.51
Category: Synthesizer
Question:
I have two sound cards on my computer. How do I make sure JAWS uses the
one I want?
Answer:
Many JAWS users who also use music or audio production software want JAWS
and Eloquence to speak through one sound card, while using the other for
their production work. To do this, you need to edit a file called JFW.ini.
Editing the jfw.ini file:
1. Using My Computer or Windows Explorer, browse your hard drive to the
currently running version of JAWS and find the jfw.ini file in that folder.
2. Press ENTER to open.
3. You should find some lines that read:
Synth1Name=eloq
Synth1LongName=Eloquence for JAWS
Synth1Driver=eloq
The number doesn't matter, it may be 1, 2, or 3, but it must be the same
for all entries for Eloquence.
4. Add the following line after the driver line: Synth1Port=SB Live! Wave
Device Of course, you need to make sure that the synth number matches the
other lines, so that if the Driver line read:
Sytn3Driver=eloq
Then the port line would read:
Synth3Port=SB Live! Wave Device
The text after the = sign in the Port line comes from Control Panel/Sound
& Multimedia/Audio tab It must be one of the entries that can be chosen for
Preferred Playback device.
5. Save your changes and exit Notepad.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Jaws not speaking at start up
Hi all,
Since I reinstalled XP Professional last week on my computer I'm having
the following problem.
I have Jaws configured to start automatically when the computer starts.
Jaws starts ok, but, with no speech. I have to unload Jaws and reload it for
Jaws to talk. I tried this with Jaws 9 and older versions but the results
are the same.
Would anyone have an idea what might be bothering Jaws?
Cheers,
Amro
