But JAWS saying the percentages of the progress bar has been extremely
helpfful to arithmetically know how much work has been done by the computer,
and how much is still remaining.
I am not so sure that the beeps can provide this kind of information.
Or, am I missing the point here?

Daniel,
Good suggestion about a beep instead of number on the progress bar. Send
that to suggestions@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and don't hold your breath for a
quick resolution.
As to the keystroke, yes it's even harder on a keyboard that has split
sections like the Microsoft Natural. But only used once in a while. It
doesn't tell you anything, but it shuts down JAWS faster than any other
command so you can try to launch it within a few seconds of performing those
acrobatics.
As to having an audible sound when using that command, again send your idea
(I suggest separate messages) to suggestions@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello Dave, Tom and Peter. Many Thanks for your comments. As long as I know
that it doesn't take up too much space I will just continue to use Jaws as
normal. WOW I must admit its a pritty cool keystroke though on the down side
it does require some acrobatics. LOL I can do it no prob but what about
thoughs who don't have that flexibility?Ah well I guess its not a keystroke
that one is awear of. I mean I wasn't until today! I might give it a try
when my computer freezes up again and see what happens. Idealy what do
people think about some kind of sound letting one know that when you have
done the action you know its done because you hear the sound. I mean if
that's what it's for to "kill Jaws" then you might as well know because if
the computer is in a state of being frozen then I know it sounds stupid and
to me pritty obvious, but how else is a blind user going to tell that jaws
is no longer running. If not by speach then by a sound if you follow my
meaning.
What do you all think. Also I would like the idea of in a new future version
of Jaws to have the abilty to beap progress bars rather then having them
spoken all the time. Again what do you all think? Probably you all might
think I'm crazy but I personally like the ideas myself.
Thanks

Daniel,
I sure don't remember, but someone on this list does know where it gets
created. No, it doesn't take much disc space at all, and I think each
iteration overwrites the previous.

Hello Dave, not sure if you got my previous message so I will write again in
case it got lost in the conversation or if anyone else can answer then
please do.
When Dave was talking about the function to Kill Jaws, Jaws key, Windows and
F4 you mentioned it creates a file that if sent to FS it can help with them
in figureing out the problem that was happening on the computer at the
present time when it wasn't behaving correctly. Well my question is: where
can this fouldor be located if ever I wanted to send the file to FS? Also
adding to that I know one wouldn't do the command unless they really have to
but I was just also wondering do the files take up a lot of memory i.e. Hard
dics space and finally Is it safe to delete if they built up over time?
Would deleting them effect Jaws in anyway?
Look forward to hearing from you or anyone else in ansering my questions.
Many Thanks
Daniel

MY pc at work is shut down every day. The fact I keep having a problem with
word crashing at the moment doesn't help. Every time it brings up the not
responding message jaws refuses to speak until I can get it off.
Unfortunately narrator won't come up either and as usual most of our IT
people don't have a clue about access technologies.

Peter,
Happens to me about once a day, as well, and that's here at work. Still
waiting an extra 20 seconds for JAWS to settle down and then reloading
usually takes care of the problem, unless another application (usually
Outlook) is hung up. then I use Narrator to uncover the culprit and close it
down and then JAWS comes back up. Turn off Narrator and back to work.
Don't often have to do a complete power-off shutdown, perhaps once every
three weeks.

Tried all that Dave. It's all fine on my home PC with Windows 7 but at work
where we are running XP Pro sometimes I just lose it all together. Very
difficult with my job as I'm interviewing people most of the day, need the
computer, and because of the speed of the PC, network, security bits and
pieces your talking about five or six minutes at least to get logged back on
again, not to mention the work lost.

Peter,
Wait 20 to 30 seconds after killing JAWS before attempting to load again. It
needs to "flush" from the system.

Yeh works for me too. The difficulty then comes when JAWS completely refuses

When Jaws freezes, i.e. Jaws key + F4 does not quit, I try the Jaws key +
windows + F4 to force Jaws to exit. That usually works for me.

?When my computer freezes I always go to the task manager, processes and
press j for jfw and hit the aplication key. If I hear a sound I press down
arrow and hit enter twice to close jaws. Usually it works. However,
sometimes it doesn't. When that happens I usually wait for at least 5
minutes. I know it is anoying having a song playing while your computer is
locked up, but that usually means it is working and it is not completely
frozen. Once thanks for not waiting I crashed so bad my computer that I
needed to re instal windows.
Clean instal through and through. I lost everything because at the time I
did not backup at all. I learned my leason that's for sure.
