Hi there,
Try System Restore to see if it fixes any
problems. You'll need to restore your
computer to the point before this error
occurred. If it does not work, then it might
be that your hard drive has decided to fail
on you (go to Start, Run, type cmd, then type
chkdsk to see what it says; if it says "xk in
bad sector" where x stands for number of
kilobytes, then your hard drive is useless.).
It could be that some kind of program has
messed of MBR (Master Boot Record) of your
hard drive or a floppy drive (if it is
damaged, the only way to restore it is
reformatting it and reinstalling Windows from
scratch.
Cheers,
Joseph

I am using AVG as my anti virus program.
Ever since this error message appeared, we
could do nothing with the
computer.
I agree, I do not really think this has
anything to do with Jaws. A remark
was just made that "it is interesting that
the problem began when the friend
wanted to put Jaws back".
Perhaps it was just one of those rare
coincidences: that when my friend
wanted to put Jaws back the problem occurred
- perhaps a matter of "timing"
which had nothing to do with Jaws.
I suspect a virus or damaged hard disc at
this point.

This doesn't really sound like a JAWS issue.
Did you run a full virus scan
and a spyware scan? Does your (apparently)
sighted friend get this message
when trying to run any other programs besides
JAWS?

Subject: Jaws and error message
Hi Everybody
On my desktop computer I am using Jaws 8 and
Windows XP Home.
A friend of mine often uses the computer and
then disables Jaws.
Yesterday when he wanted to put Jaws back, we
got the following error
message (which we now get whenever the
computer is switched on):
"error reading disc occurred; press control,
alt, delete".
When I press control, alt, delete, I get
another message:
"searching for boot record from floppy".
Then I am back to square one.
Obviously Jaws does not speak and I can do
absolutely nothing with the
computer.
From what I have found out, the problem might
be caused by a virus (but then
I am using AVG free edition; latest version)
or my hard drive could be
damaged. (The computer is about 4 years
old).
Just for in case there is another option -
something to do with the process
of disabling and reloading Jaws again, does
anybody have an idea/opinion?
Thanks.
Renette
