Is this happening with the JAWS beta? I'm using JAWS 11 and don't have that problem. Cindy From: Pat Pound Sent: Friday, October 08, 2010 11:35 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Problem re Outlook Express and newest Jaws Hello all, I have the latest Jaws and have a problem with Outlook Express. By the Way I also just installed the New Avast 5. When I open OE it takes a while and often Jaws quits speaking, appears to happen most often wehn I interrupt the speech by hitting down arrow to read the next message in my inbox view. Any ideas?
