Hi, Wayne!
How ya been? Know you from Dallas Services and TSB and Chris Cole.
We played chess, table hocky and stuff back then. I use a Focus 40
every day at work with Jaws 8 and windows xp pro and have been doing
so for about 2 years now. Never noticed a clicking noise though. It
must have to do with that old driver. Do you have any fancy Jaws
sound schemes running? I know there's a way to set jaws to play
sounds for certain functions. I once found a directory full of .wav
viles that were exclusive to Jaws alone. Maybe you should try running
Jaws repair to get a totally clean version. Btw, I use Jaws 9 at home
and I've plugged the focus in at the home computer when I wanted to
look at some files in braille and there's no clicking here either.
Hope you get to the bottom of it.
Cheers,
Alex
Ps Drop me a line sometime privately, man. Let me know how you're
doing and what you're up to.
