Well, JAWS is the only screen reader that has this problem. Anyway,
open Rail racer, then hit jaws+F2. Now, from this list, for jaws 11 and
lower, open configuration manager. for jaws 12 or newer, open the
settings center. It will ask you to create a new configuration for
gameengine, just press enter. Now, if you're running jaws 11 or earlier,
go to the set options menu, advanced, and check the 2 sleep mode boxes.
For jaws 12 and newer just use the search box to find the setting
pertaining to sleep mode. When you're done just alt+F4, say yes to save,
and you should be good.

Kim, depending on what version of Jaws you have to put Jaws to sleep
bring up the configuration manager or settings manager with insert+6,
and then check the proper checkbox to put Jaws to sleep. then, save
the configuration for Rail Racer. Its really not that difficult to do
although I haven't done this in a while since I am now a NVDA user.
All the same I feel you shouldn't blame Rail Racer for your own
inexperience with Jaws. Knowing how to put your screen reader to sleep
is your responsibility the game and its developer shouldn't be held
accountable for your lack of knowledge. I'm sorry if I sound a bit
rude here, I'm not trying to be, but it just sounds like you are
blaming your problems on Rail Racer when your issue is a lack of
experience with Jaws. :D
Cheers!

Hi, I thought I'd have a try at getting a couple of games so I bought
Mississippi and the Rail Racer game at Blind Adrenaline. I made a folder
in my documents folder for user keys, passwords, etc. I am able to make
the Mississippi game work, but figure I can work with someone on it. I
here it's a sort of monopoly game on steroids, but that rail racer game
has got me frustrated. For one thing, in order to run it, you have to
put your screen reader into sleep mode. Jaws (my screen reader, doesn't
seem to have rail racer as an application and I don't know how to enable
sleep mode for it. If Jaws does sleep, is it a sure thing the game will
work for me? Anyhow, I can definitely use help from anyone who happens
to have the game. I'm getting a bit frustrated with it and feel as if I
shouldn't have gbought the thing. Regards, Kim Friedman.
