Tom, How about whether you might have turned on some extended ASCII that's giving you the equivalent umlauts and accented characters? Again is it just when you hit the keys, or is it also pronouncing French when you read text?

I am finding it actually to be inconsistant. I wish I could figure out what key combination I hit.

Especially that only your non-lettered keys are doing this. Does the text on screen also read French? Parle vous Francais? I'm thinking that somehow you managed to change your keyboard to a non-QWERTY keyboard, perhaps?

Any one know how to change this back to english and what the keystroke might have been. I am using XP Pro and jaws 10 Thanks -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
