Hello I have not had these types of experiences. Jaws has worked fine for me. Using the latest version of jaws on the market. Running windows xp pro sp2 with a soundblaster live sound card. Have 3.5 gigs of ram with a P4 3.2 processer. Video card is a nvidia g force I also have installed jaws 5, 710, 8, and 9. All versions run fine. My question for you is do you put the machines in standby mode at anytime? I find it better to use hibernate. I have used this with no trouble. Could you give more detail on your 2 computers. Sorry if you have done this already.

I have also sent this to FS without any results. Hello all, I am still getting the Error 6 message on two different machines. According to your bulletin it states the following: Details of Selected Bulletin Bulletin Type: TSN Number: 18851 Date Posted: 09/21/2004 Product Name: JAWS Version: 5.10 plus Category: Authorization Short Description: JAWS does not function properly after returning from Standby mode. Problem: JAWS may stop functioning correctly after you return from Standby mode. In some cases, the program displays the following error message after your computer returns from Standby mode: "JAWS Error [6]: Feature is not licensed to run on this machine." After you receive this message, JAWS begins running in 40 minute mode. If you attempt to restart JAWS, your system fails or JAWS continues running in 40 minute mode. If you restart your computer, JAWS stops running in 40 minute mode and functions normally. Solution: If you restart your computer, JAWS will be fully activated again. However, the problem will occur again if the computer goes on standby. It is recommended that you disable Standby mode on this computer. To prevent your computer from going on standby, do the following: 1. Open the Start menu, select Settings, and then choose Control Panel. 2. If you are using Windows ME, select Power Options and press ENTER. If you are using Windows 98, select Power Management and press ENTER. 3. In the Power Schemes list, select "Always On." 4. Press ENTER. All of this functionality is disabled on both machines. I have been experiencing this issue since the public beta which was only installed on one of the machines. Now that the official release is out I am still experiencing the same issue along with other issues which I also experienced during the public beta. These issues are as follows. 1. Extremely long delay in JAWS starting after log on. 2. Loss of speech when downloading email. 3. Loss of speech after deleting a message. 4. Loss of speech while listening to other audio files. 5. After using a Braille Voyager for a couple of hours JAWS begins to crackle with the cursor blink rate of the display. There doesn't seem to be anyone who knows how to resolve these issues. I have uninstalled JAWS and all shared components and reinstalled without success. I have changed environment variables according to Jim's suggestion without result. Since I am experiencing this on two machines, a Dell 1505, and an HP with different audio cards etc. I'm sure others have experienced this problem. I would appreciate any help you can provide.
