I had an experience over the past 24 hours.  Yesterday afternoon our IT
guy had to swap my video card and drivers.  After we got JAWS
reactivated, the Say Line command wasn't reading the headers in my
Inbox.  After notifying Larry, we fooled around with it for about a
quarter of an hour, and, when I resumed the controls, it worked fine;
neither of us could say just why.  However, this reinforces my
supposition that hardware can be very important in determining JAWS'
behavior.

 

One footnote, Outlook has behaved beautifully all day-fast and stable.
It may be too soon to brag, but things are definitely looking up; how
about that, sports fans!

As I reported, mine behaves exactly the same way as described by Bill.

 

But yours behaves differently.  So I wonder why this discriminatory
behaviour with the machines.

 

It's not too much of a deal if I have to live with it.  but an
explanation of the feature would be desirable from the experts.

        I always have my jaws start when system starts and I can read
all the options

        I have reproduced Bill's observation, and have got the same
experience running the latest JAWS update on my XP home PC.

                What kind of computer, laptop? desktop?. Connected to a
docking station?

                Yes, I upgraded.  The message below the first one at the
top gave all the particulars of jaws version, windows version etc.

                 

                Thank you.

                        Did you upgrade to the latest version of jfw 11?
It was released earlier this week.

                                Hello, Friends.  I wanted to offer the
latest that has come from exploring the research it options problem with
my computer.

                                 

                                It seems that when jaws starts
automatically at start up, I can't arrow through the options within
research it.  But if I start jaws after the computer loads, I can arrow
through the options, and can hear them just fine.

                                 

                                This might give someone an idea of the
problem, and a possible solution as to why some have not had the
problem.

                                 

                                Thank you.

                                Hello.  I am using the latest update of
JAWS Version 11.0.1447  home with Windows XP.  After updating, I noticed
that when I use Insert+space, then R to enter research it, then navigate
to the options and press space bar, none of the items in the check box
menu will read when I use the up and down arrows.  To hear them, I must
press Insert+8 on the num pad.

                                 

                                I called FS and Jim told me to remove
the default.jcf and the default.jsb files.  After doing this, the arrows
did read the items in the menu.

                                 

                                However, after re starting my computer,
the old problem again cropped up.

                                 

                                Has anyone noticed this problem, and if
so, is there a solution among those on the list?

                                 

                                As yet, there doesn't seem to be one
from FS.

                                 

                                Thank you in advance.
