I don't really understand exactly what my computer rebuilder was talking about, 
so to me it's gibberish.  But what he found on a Winamp forum was that in 
certain video cards there's a setting about hot keys--turning on or off 
original Windows hot keys or being able to make your own using this video 
whatever.  It was just one of many things that either he or I have had to tweak 
so the computer is more accessible.  I don't know if others who have this 
problem may have a video setting not right, but the things I couldn't do in 
Winamp were all Windows-related, while Jaws scripts worked like a charm.  Maybe 
someone who knows more about how some Windows hot keys can get messed up can 
explain it.  I'm just glad mine's fixed because it was driving me crazy.

    High Joann,
    This is not a Winamp problem, this is a JFW 11 problem.
    I ran in to the same problem using Winamp 5.571 and JFW 11.
    There are some bugs in JFW 11 that needs to be address by Freedom 
Scientific.
    But until then, you may wish to role back to JFW 10.
    Hope this helps.
    My best regards.
      John.

      I am using Jaws 11 and Windows XP home, and installed Winamp 5.572 Light. 
 Someone did have the full version installed, but I took it out as I thought 
this version was causing my problems.  But the problems persist with Light 
version, and this has never happened before.  For one thing, alt f 4 doesn't 
close the program; in fact control P doesn't open preferences.  To do either of 
these things I have to go into menus and can't use the shortcuts.  So I have to 
remember alt f and then the letter x to exit program.  And alt and then the 
letter o for preferences.  I also can't push the letter c or x for play or 
stop.  The other scripts appear to be fine, such as finding how much time is 
left, etc.  But I think the c and x command and the alt f 4 or control p 
functions are Windows commands, not Jaws commands--is this correct?  I 
reinstalled it and still can't do these things.  Oh yes and equalizer, same 
thing; must go to alt menus and find it to turn it on.  Does anyone have 
suggestions?  I don't know what else to do, as it's been clean-installed 
already.  I also did a Jaws repair, so I don't know why some of the ordinary 
Windows commands for the program don't work.  I also made sure classic skins 
are checked.

      Thanks.

      Joanne
