Only issue I've been having with 5.57 is that when I open up another instance everything is slow. I.E. loading a stream from the net, opening up an audio file, and closing that instance. This problem happened with the beta.

    I've been telling Fs about how I have Windows Vista Home premium
    64 bit. My problem is Jaws won't tell me the names of the tracks
    when I hit the b key. They told me they didn't know what the
    problem was. I'm begginning to loose my patience with them as well.

Preach it brother! I had some problem with an earlier version of Jaws and winamp. I wrote and called Fs and told them my problem. I let them hear from my computer the problem. They fixed the problem they told me where to go in the task manager. If you don't hear from them after writing you might want to call them and let them hear it for themselves from your end!

        This has got to be incredibly frustrating, I was able to
        switch to Window-eyes, and I'm very glad I did. I'm not saying
        that to start the old JAWS verses window-eyes debate cause
        haven't we been down that road more times than we care to
        count?    Bottom line, FS needs to fix this, and many other
        problems with JAWS.  I mean, JAWS's interaction with Winamp
        should not cause this type of problem, especially when other
        screenreaders don't exhibit the same sort of behavior.  You
        should be able to close Winamp whenever the hell you want to,
        you should not have to kill it from the task manager!
        the average user doesn't even know what, or where the task
        manager is, how to kill a running process, or any other
        problem of that sort.  Ok i'm shutting up right now because
        I'm not trying to cause fights on here.  Just speaking my
        mind.  I hope it's not a problem for everyone using JAWS 11.
         If you are experiencing this, write to FS and tell them, and
        don't quit until the problem is actually addressed.

        Hi Folks,

        I do not know if this is the case with earlier versions of
        JAWS, but with JAWS 11 and Winamp 5.57, there is the return
        of the problem wherein JAWS holds elements of Winamp in
        memory for anywhere from several seconds to several minutes
        after you exit the Winamp program.  The exact detailed nature
        of this old issue is quite complex so I won't give any
        detailed report in this post.  It suffices to say that at
        least on my system and a few other people I have spoken to,
        that if you exit Winamp and then a few seconds to a few
        minutes later, you decide to load another file into Winamp by
        clicking on it from a folder on your hard drive, that Winamp
        will not load and the file will not play.  You must go to the
        task manager and kill the Winamp process to rectify the problem.

        Using any other screen reader, Window-Eyes, NVDA, System
        Access, I do not experience this problem.
