Chris,
I'm not sure I understand your answer. Best I can imagine, it sounds as
if
the problem is that when you're in an edit field, Forms Mode doesn't
work,
so if you want to be able to type something there you switch to the Jaws
cursor? I never encountered such a problem or had to try such a solution.
Anyway, when you restart your computer and everything in the jaws
programming falls back into place, then does something like this behave
normally and announce that it's an edit field, and allow you to go into
Forms Mode? Or does the kind of edit field you're talking about never
present itself as an edit field in the first place, except that you know
it
is, somehow, and deal with it using the Jaws cursor?
lastly, why is the term video or video card involved? Is that just a
normal
part of jaws operation, or does it mean that this type of edit field is a
graphic, not an HTML-coded screen element? If my question isn't clear to
you, I won't mind if someone else replies, someone who's familiar with
this
sort of issue. I'm not trying to hassle you. I just don't understand the
reply very well but I might if it were written a little differently.
Thanks very much.

Sure. Now, I could just navigate, using the JAWS cursor, what I'm
writing. I
can also read back what I'm writing in this edit field. If I unload and
reload JAWS, however, I can do none of this. This is why I think it's a
video intercept issue, as the video intercept driver intercepts text
being
sent from the graphics card to the computer.

Chris,
I am sorry that I don't know enough about this sort of thing to offer
you
any advice, but I do hope you can tell me something. I don't know
anything
at all about the phrase "video intercept," though I vaguely remember it
has
something to do with how jaws picks up information from coding and
renders
it into speech. But I'm just saying that. I think it's obvious that I
don't
get what's going on with this thing at all.
That confession made, may I ask how you know there's a video intercept
problem that you're now troubled by? By which I mean, how does it
manifest
itself? This is not a sophisticated question requiring complicated
discussion. I am simply asking if you wouldn't mind describing what goes
wrong for you when you use Jaws after exiting it and restarting it,
without
rebooting the system, as you say? What happens that's wrong? And what
about
this tells you it's a video intercept issue?
again, I'm looking for basic education. Not arguing about anything. Hope
that's clear. And sorry about the hassle you're having.
Joel

Subject: Strange JAWS 10 issue
Hello all,
I'm using the latest JAWS 10 running under Windows XP Home Edition SP3.
The
computer is a Dell Dimention DIM2400 desktop PC which is owned by my
father
for all of us to use. The problem is that JAWS works as expected,
however
when I unload and reload, JAWS behaves as if no video intercept was
installed and will behave this way until I restart the PC. I looked at
the
video intercept information, and all appears to be well. Does anyone
know
what's going on here? If this helps I'm using a guest account rather
than
my
own administrative account.
Please advise.
Thanks.
