Hi Peter and all. I'm having the same problem. Unfortunately I don't have a
definite answer, but I'm wondering if this only happens with Eloquence or if
other speech synthesizers produce the same results. I've not tried myself but I
think I've got some time today so will try it out.

Subject: Forms mode stops talking then starts again
Hmm, I've just had a bit of a go at FS support as they keep emailing me back
the same questions and things to try.
I keep finding JAWS stops talking randomly when I go in to forms mode on
websites, and then starts again about 10 seconds later exactly where I want it
and in forms mode ready to go. My hard drive makes a bit of noise while its
doing it as if JAWS is shutting down and restarting, but strangely exactly
where it left off.
Despite telling them several times, I've got the latest version of all my
drivers, JAWS, and all windows updates, they still tell me to get them or tell
me to delete einternet history despite it being a brand new vista installation.
I'm also finding JAWS every now and again starts missing off half of the
words then resolves itself again.

Subject: Jaws 9 & Vista
I'm sorry to ask still another question but...
I am having quite a bit of trouble with this new Dell laptop that has Vista
Home Premium.
I'm using Jaws home version 9.
Just downloaded the latest version 9 today.
I had called Freedom Scientific's tech support and explained the problem I
was having with Jaws version 8.
The only advice he had for me was to download the latest version 9 which I
did.
Now a different problem has begun.
When typing an email, I arrow up to read a line I just typed and Jaws reads
it to me.
But when I arrow back down, there should be a blank line there but instead
Jaws reads the same line again to me.
If I arrow up several times, it reads several lines twice before reading a
different line.
When it should tell me there's a blank line, it instead reads text that
shouldn't be there.
And my guess is that text really isn't there. But for some reason, Jaws is
reading text.
Any ideas?
One more question, a friend told me that pro version of Jaws is more stable
with Vista than home version. Is there any truth to this?
Thanks for all your time and help.
Nancy
