hi Linda, I guess you're looking at messages from a couple of weeks ago, at this point. Since then, it's fixed. Actually, I didn't have to do anything so radical. I just had to look in my settings/enu folders for both versions of Jaws, realize that there was a script file of some sort I seem to have created in Jaws 7 as part of my configuring Open Book to use Eloquence and the Jaws keyboard, then simply copy that file into the settings/enu folder of my new Jaws 8. Once done, everything worked fine. Thanks for your response. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Parent" <mslparent25@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 10:58 AM Subject: RE: My Open Book/Jaws setup not working with Jaws 8 Hi, This has happened to me and you have to reinstall jaws and open book.

I'm posting this to both the Open Book and the JFW List. With help from folks on the Open Book list, I set up Open Book so that I could use Jaws with it instead of the supplied voices. This basically required setting the speech combo box under OB's settings to No Speech, and unchecking the Sleep Mode item in a tab of the Jaws Advanced Options menu under settings in Configuration Manager. It worked pretty well. But since I installed Jaws 8 yesterday, when I launch Open Book, it's silent. I know I haven't changed anything in the OB settings, so I didn't mind that I had no way to inspect that. But I did look in Advanced Settings to see if Sleep Mode had been enabled again without my realizing it. Nope. Still unchecked. I can't think of anything else to look for. Could Open Book be looking for Eloquence in the wrong folder, now, since I installed Jaws 8? That's all I can think of. If that's the problem how can I redirect Open Book to look for the Eloquence synth in the copy of Jaws that's running? I have a feeling I'm not asking the question quite right. Sage advice will be appreciated. -- 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.
