Hi, I tried to compile the scripts and got the following error:

Compile Error
 Unknown variable VCTX_SCREEN
OK  


Any suggestions?

Hi Chris these scripts are intended to be an update.
It sounds to me like you may have removed some things included in the jaws
distribution most probably the winamp active x control. If the winamp active
x control is not installed then the scripts you speak of will not work.
Please note none of the scripts you speak of were changed by me in any way.
So my guess would be you may have removed the active x control. These
scripts were tested with both 5.1 and 7.0 they worked fine with no problems.

hi. As I posted to the Winamp4TheBlind list I run, unfortunately these
updated scripts do not work well at all on my system. In fact, they seem to
have broken some of the other scripts included before, most notably the
speak total time of the currently playing track and the elapsed time of the
currently playing track, as well as a few other things like speak status of
stop before next track.  Those were the only things I found.  Since i make
great use of these functions in my broadcasting, I could not very well keep
these scripts.  So, luckily for me, I had a previous version of JAWS on my
system, which I went backto and copied the scripts over to 7.0 which is what
I use currently.  So folks, if you try these scripts, it would be a very
good idea for anyone trying out these to copy the current ones into a folder
on your hard drive.  That way if something bad happens as it did on my
system here, you can go back. I did and the scripts work again just as they
did before.  Note that before reverting back to the other scripts, I
recompiled the scripts and closed and restarted JAWS in hopes that this
would do the trick. However, they just did not work for me, sorry to say.
Just thought I would share my experiences. I hope some of you have better
luck than me!
