I sugest you do not use Narrator.  It is pretty crappy.  I think that
Window eyes or system access are better screen readers.

Hi,

The only viable option would be using Microsoft Narrator to read the
screen. Or, if you have Window-Eyes, you can use that. For me, I have a
backup Korean screen reader that I use when JAWS crashes.

Cheers,

Jospeh

Hi Joseph,

 

Thanks for the message. I just unloaded and reloaded JAWS because it was
having trouble reading the window I was in, and when JAWS came back up I
saw that Microsoft windows dialog. I looked at it more closely than I
usually do, and the only button I see is a close program button. I've
never seen a send error report button when anything has crashed in
vista, be it Internet Explorer or JAWS or whatever. Haven't tried
logging off and then back on yet, though.

 

I don't see any kind of error code anywhere in that dialog that comes
up, so I don't know if virtualizing the window and copying what's on the
screen to a file would help. Is there a keystroke I can do within that
dialog that might grab some info that might help FS figure out what's
going on?

 

Thanks,

Brian
