Hi everyone,
I am new to the list so please forgive me if this topic has been covered
prior to my joining. According to someone I spoke to at Freedom Scientific,
nobody else seems to be having the problem so perhaps not (smile).
I am currently using Jaws 11 Beta to see if it would improve the problem I
am having but if anything, it is worse than 10. Jaws works fine on my XP
desktop computer, but on my Del laptop running Vista I have a terrible time
while writing/editing email messages or other documents such as in Microsoft
Works , Notepad, WordPad, etc. Jaws will read lines twice when I am down
arrowing, or it will repeat letters when I am arrowing across the line to
see if something is spelled correctly. I also have trouble selecting words
to delete, etc., because it seems to be on one thing but is actually on
another.
Also, in Windows Mail, it incorrectly reads messages when I am in the list
view of any mailbox, causing me to sometimes delete messages I don't intend
to. I love Jaws, but this is most annoying and I am hoping someone has some
suggestions for me. My laptop has the numpad on the right-hand side of the
keyboard so I am using the desktop layout since I can use the same keys as
for a desktop.
One more thing...sometimes it appears that the control key or the shift key
gets stuck, causing many things to happen that I don't want. When I unload
Jaws and load it back, the problem goes away. I have used System Access To
go when the annoyance becomes too great, and I don't have the problem at all
with it, although I do like so many things about Jaws better that I would
much rather use it.
My apologies for the length of this post, and I hope I have been clear about
what's going on. Believe me, if anyone else is experiencing...or has
experienced this, they will definitely know what I'm talking about (smile).
Any thoughts and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated...thanks in advance.
Ann
