I think I had that problem early on, but it disappeared.  I don't recall
how long it lasted, but it was not long.  In fact, I don't recall it
occurring at all here at the office.  That may be because Dennis and I
had to keep rebooting the system to make "just one more change."  If it
was an initial installation glitch, we obviously worked through it.

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.

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.
