Hi, I've had my PK for a couple of months ane, while it's crashed sometimes in the past it's doing it mor now, though that might be me noticing it more because I'm using it more.
There are three things which happen fairly regularly. 1. One specific thing which seems guaranteed to stop it responding at all until I reset is switching from the browser to the bookreader. I don't know if this would happen with other books but every time I've switched from reading my e-mail in the browser to bookreader and tried to open the manual chapter for the browser, it either crashes when I press for the Keysoft System Disk or whan I press enter for the manual folder. So I have to reset, and can't switch between reading about the browser and using it. 2. Quite often speech stops without me (to my knowledge) switching it off. Sounds don't work either. Is there a keystroke for muting sound? Maybe I'm pressing it by accident. So far from what I've learned I thought the way to switch speech off was with space and n3. But I'm not pressing that when this happens and when I cycle it round to speech on again I still don't get any sound. The last time I reset after this the speech was slower than usual, it said something about cannot find string and wouldn't go into the main menu as usual and I had to reset again. I'm getting worried. Should I be? 3. Sometimes when I'm typing, speech stops and nothing happens when I type; I press backspace/advance/back and get the error beep. Then if I wait a few seconds I can carry on typing. Since I'm using it with one hand but not in one handed mode (so some of my keystrokes may be unclear/slippery plus I still type quite fast) maybe the PK can't cope with that/doesn't like it? This doesn't worry me as much as the speech stopping/resetting/cannot find string thing. If anyone has any comments and/or can tell me a keystroke for muting sound I might be accidentally pressing I'd be interested to hear.
