Thank you for the information, Jeff. I have forwarded this to my campus’s
system administrators.

Hi Mike,
We have seen this issue on a few machines. We *think* it's related to Java not
allocating enough heap space. There's a fix on the Sodbeans wiki that you
should try:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sodbeans/wiki/Sodbeans/setup
Check out the "Troubleshooting your Windows install" section.
Jeff.

Jeff,
I am also having an issue with Sodbeans locking up or crashing on campus on
the campus computers. For example, I tried pasting Java code into the editor
this past Wednesday, and got the ”This program is not responding,” message and
had to close it. Another time that it completely crashed is when I tried to
run a Java app that I built. Do you have any suggestions for what I should
tell the system administrators on campus? This would be greatly appreciated.
I’m not sure if it is their computers or a bug in Sodbeans.
Thank you,
Mike

Hi Roger,
It sounds like you may have found a bug in the library we wrote for Sodbeans
to communicate with JAWS. Unfortunately, I have not tested it with JAWS 9
personally. Does JAWS work correctly throughout the entire tutorial, or does it
always stop speaking when you close the tutorials window? One thing you should
try is going to the Tools menu, navigating to the "Text to Speech" submenu and
selecting "Reset Speech Engine." Hopefully, this will get JAWS speaking again.
I believe this is linked to the keyboard shortcut CTRL+F1, but I am not 100%
sure on that.
If you're in a rush, your Mac should work well as our VoiceOver compatibility
is much better than our JAWS compatibility, so hopefully it won't give you any
problems.
Jeff.

Hi all,
I've downloaded and installed the latest Sodbeans, read the tutorials and
ready to get started. However, once I've pressed escape twice to get rid of
the tutorials windows everything goes silent including jaws.
I'm using Windows XP with Jaws 9 and have the java access bridge installed
for use with other software.
So can anyone help?
Is there a better version of Sodbeans and some tutorials somewhere to cope
with any differences? I also have a Macc running Snow Leopard and could use
that yet again, I would like to have tutorials to hand.
Desperately in need of assistance
Roger
