Hi,

No, I'm using a new HP Compaq. I haven't noticed it with any other ctrl alt combinations and I've had similar problems on other computers. It's only now I've been forced into a newer Jaws with no old default.jkm file from version 6 to fall back on that I've had to work round it long enough to work out exactly when it happens.

Cheers
Dave

Dave,

Two questions:

Does this only happen when you are navigating tables or does the Control key
jam on when you do other Control+Alt key combinations?

Are you by any chance using a Dell laptop computer?

It's just that it sounds like it could be a keyboard hardware issue and
within RNIB we've noticed a number of laptops having keyboard problems of
this sort after they are around a year or so old and have had fairly regular
use.

I've also had a situation some years ago where a bump on that I had stuck on
one of the keys had come off and was hiding down the side of a key causing
it to jam from time to time.

Hope this helps.

Jamie

Hi,

I have long complained about keyboard problems in various versions of Jaws. I am now finding something consistent at last. Whenever I use the table navigation keys, ctrl-alt with arrow keys, the ctrl key become stuck on and i cannot cure it. I will advise further as I play.

I'm now using JFW 7.1 and IE7 though

Cheers
Dave
