Hi, folks: I wish to describe an issue I'm having with JFW that is growing
more annoying by the day. And I'm not sure that JAWS is the problem--don't
want to leave even the appearance of starting a flame war. But here's the
issue, manifesting itself on only one of four PC's I operate:
Regardless of what application my notebook is running, pressing the Down Arrow
key just once usually triggers either the application cursor or the JAWS
Virtual Cursor actually to move down 3-4 lines. With the Up Arrow key, I
always can go back up by one line at a time and read what I've missed. But
when filling out Web forms with radio buttons, or in carefully reading a
document line by line to check it for accuracy, I nearly always run into the
problem of the Down Arrow keystroke having really exaggerated results! The key
does not stick, nor do I press and hold it down. I've seen this with both 5.0
and 5.1 versions of JFW.
I use the Laptop keyboard configuration.
Not long ago, due to some severe Windows glitches, I re-burned the notebook and
reinstalled Windows and JFW from scratch; but I've experienced this
inconvenience both before and after the re-format.
I'm running Windows XP Professional, SP 1, on a Dell Latitude notebook that has
worked acceptably well for 2-1/2 years, except for the recent major flaw with
Windows that I caused due to an ill-advised tinkering with IE. At various
times, I run Lotus Notes, Microsoft Office applications, Internet Explorer 6,
and a variety of proprietary programs created by the company for which I work.
I see this glitch with all of them.
One hypothesis is that I need to replace or upgrade the graphics driver (ATI
Rage Mobility). I know JFW interacts quite closely with the graphics driver
and card, but don't know if this operation will improve my situation. Can
anyone help?
Best regards,
