Have you used Jaws 5.1 successfully before? Which operating system are
you using?
If you are in Windows XP you may need to delete your profile and have it
created again, this happened to me at work and some tech did it to make
the menus read correctly.

Subject: JFW 5.1 annoying situation
Hi all.
>>I have a problem with JFW 5.1.

>>spell checker provided to me by the company I transcribe for, it
wouldn't

JFW
>>4.02. I wouldn't have been able to look up anything in the Stedman's
>>spell checker if I'd needed to since JFW 4.02 won't allow me to read

>>JFW 5.1 wouldn't let me into the change synthecizer menu with the alt

every

medical
>>transcription. I even use it in e-mail so I can plug my headset right
>>into the DEC-Talk Express.
I also couldn't get into the change synthesizer menu using the alt key
and
arrowing over to language because when I would down arrow once JFW 5.1
would say menu and that was all. I could get to the change synthesizer
option, but it was just by luck as JFW didn't speak.
I also had trouble using windows explorer to get to the directory I work
from as I couldn't access anything that way either.
I ended up unloading JFW 5.1 and using 4.02 and just hoped I wouldn't
need
to get into Word 2002 for any reason.
>>I don't know what is going on, but I'm not very happy about it. You
>>spend all of this money on something that's supposed to help you more
>>with accesibility, and all you get is a headache and frustration.
Anyone
>>have any ideas concerning what's going on? Help please if you can!
