Chris, As I believe Francis mentioned earlier, the reason you've been hearing file download progress and such is because the dialogue boxes that display in Windows during those functions actually have progress notifications that Jaws sometimes manages to focus on and speak as the numbers change, of its own accord. You could verify this by downloading something, then either pressing Insert B to read everything in the dialogue box including the state of the progress following function at that moment, or switching to Jaws cursor and reading the dialogue box's contents line by line. It wasn't something generating by Jaws itself, only spoken by it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Feist" <ccfeist@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, March 27, 2005 2:41 PM Subject: RE: jaws 6 .0 best feature bad implementation Hi John. Actually, I have already done this in Configuration Manager and it did stop the progress announcements of Web sites being loaded. I still, however, here the continuous progress of file downloads, burning CD's to the hard drive, etc. For me, at least, turning the progress bar off didn't effect those areas. Of course, I was already getting those particular progress announcements in 5.10 and earlier versions of Jaws as well. 6.0 added the automatic announcements of loading Web pages which I have turned off.

All you have to do is go into the configure ation & user options & tab around you should find it, it might say something like every 5 seconds just arrow up to none save your changes & you shouldn't hear it any more. John Carvalho ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Feist" <ccfeist@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> That explains why even with the progress bar announcement disabled I still here progress announcements when I'm downloading files from the Internet, copying song files to my hard drive from a CD, etc. Like most, I've permanently turned off the progress bar announcements feature inn 6.0 but would like to disable progress announcements in these other areas if possible. It can get rather annoying, especially when it's a large file. Can this be done? Chris Feist - The one and only! -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Francis Daniels The downloading of email progress is different from the page download progress bar. They are different processes. Downloading a program is something completely different. That happens in a dialog box and is echoed on the task bar button, not on the Internet Explorer status line.
