Re: [Blind-Computing] jaws not working properly
Did you unload and then reload Jaws? Did you reboot your computer? If you did these things and it did not solve the problem, you may need to reinstall Jaws.

Re: [Blind-Computing] jaws not working properly
This sounds like it might be a video problem, in which case re-installation probably won't help. If you can get someone to look at your screen and see if something is wonky--font or text size for examples. Maybe check your video intercept to see if it is working properly. If all of this is okay, then you might try a re-install or repair. Thanks.

Re: [Blind-Computing] jaws not working properly
Here's what jaws13 help says about video intercept. Sounds like a call to freedom scientific might be in order. Video Intercept Manager The JAWS Video Intercept Manager detects problems related to video that may prevent JAWS from functioning properly. The JAWS Video Intercept Manager provides information on your video hardware and software that can help Freedom Scientific Technical Support Engineers determine the cause of failure to properly install JAWS Video Intercept. Note: Troubleshooting and resolving situations that cause JAWS Video Intercept often involves uninstalling and reinstalling software applications and/or device drivers. We recommend only experienced computer users attempt to resolve Video Intercept problems without assistance from Freedom Scientific Technical Support. Common causes of Video Intercept failures are listed below. Incompatible Software If incompatible software is installed on your system before you install JAWS, the Video Intercept will fail to install. JAWS attempts to identify the software causing this problem. If the software is identified, you can attempt to uninstall the software, and install JAWS Video Intercept. Once JAWS is functioning correctly, you should be able to reinstall the software without causing any conflicts. Other Assistive Technology Software In some cases, if other assistive technology software is installed on your system before you install JAWS, the Video Intercept will fail to install. JAWS attempts to identify the software causing this problem. If the software is identified, you can attempt to uninstall the software, and install JAWS Video Intercept. Once JAWS is functioning correctly, you should be able to reinstall the software without causing any conflicts. Incorrect Display Drivers If incorrect display drivers are installed on your system, JAWS Video Intercept will fail to install. You may need to contact the manufacturer of your display adapter hardware for assistance installing the correct display drivers. After the correct display drivers are installed, JAWS Video Intercept should install without problems.

[Blind-Computing] Jaws not working properly
Hi everyone I'm having a problem with my Jaws 11. I'm finding that sometimes if I'm on a webpage or reading a word document and I move my arrow keys down quickly to skip to what I want to find, that my Jaws will freeze and stop speaking. I then do start menu key, p to get to programs menu and start up Jaws from there. Sometimes it re-boots and sometimes it doesn't. I normally have to re-start my computer. Also I've recently got a box appearing saying Jaws has encountered a problem with an application and needs to close, but there's only an ok button, no error message at all. I'm not sure what to do about this one and would be glad of some help.
