Hi Adrian, Yes, I did reboot, which at first didn't affect this quirk. But, and don't ask me what this could mean, but after a few minutes' use, Alt Tabbing around the Task Bar became crisp again, as it was before I installed the new version. So, who knows? but it's all right, now. Needed some sort of 10-minute break-in routine? Yeah, right. Well, whatever. Now it's okay. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrian Spratt" <A.Spratt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 7:03 PM Subject: Re: Jaws 8 slow on Alt Tab change? Hi, Yardbird. I don't experience this problem. Did you reboot after installing JAWS 8 and re-establishing all your settings? You will find some changes in behavior, some odd, but most for the good. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> I've just installed Jaws 8 (the latest version from the FS site) and have been running through the various settings in the Jaws window and the Configuration Manager to familiarize myself with the new items and set a couple of things. So far, everything is working all right, but one thing strikes me oddly: When I have several applications open at once, as I do now, and I cycle among them with the Alt Tab command, there's a millisecond's hesitation before Jaws announces the application I've moved into. Jaws 7 just snaps from one window or application to the next with that command, without any hesitation or intervening silence. Is this sluggishness common to everyone's copies of Jaws 8? It's kind of clunky. thanks. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
