Scott -
If I'm understanding your message; and I don't guarantee that I am; this
might be either a corrupted installation or your video drivers. Whenever I
hear about a problem like this, my first suggestion is to track down and
install the latest set of video drivers. If you find a set that's later than
those already on your computer, there's only one way to install them and
here are the steps. Don't even begin this process unless you feel confident
that you can successfully complete the installation process--get sighted
help if you're not 100% certain:
1. To locate drivers, go to the web site for the manufacturer of your video
card. If you don't know this, get a copy of Belarc Advisor and run it and it
will tell you. You may have to Google the manufacturer's name to locate
their web site.
2. Download the latest set of drivers for your model of video card. Chances
are that this will be in the form of a .exe file that you run in order to
install the drivers. Don't run it yet.
3. Press INSERT+J to open the JAWS dialog. Under Options, select Basics and
uncheck the Automatically Start JAWS item.
4. Go to the Start Menu>Programs>JAWS <whichever version you're running> and
open the submenu. Arrow down once to Tools, then arrow right and locate the
Video Intercept Manager. Press ENTER.
5. When Intercept Manager opens, select Uninstall Video Intercept and press
ENTER. When this process completes, JAWS will not be running, so you must
turn on Narrator in order to have speech during installation of the new
drivers. Press Windows Key+U to turn on Narrator.
6. Now is the time to run the video driver installation program. Follow the
prompts as Narrator reads them to you. You will have to be patient when
using Narrator, since it doesn't have the capability of reading individual
lines, etc., that you'll be used to in JAWS.
7. After running the installation program, you should receive a message
indicating that the new drivers have been successfully installed. Shut down
and restart your computer and again, start Narrator.
8. Go to the Start Menu>Programs item for the same version of JAWS as in
step 4, above, Select Tools and then Video Intercept Manager. This time,
choose to install video intercept support.
9. The Video Intercept Manager should give you a message indicating that
this action was successful. Now, press INSERT+J to open the JAWS dialog,
select Options>Basics and again check the Automatically Start JAWS item.
10. Now, restart your computer again. JAWS should come up talking.
Note: I don't know about other manufacturers, but if your video card is from
ATI, you will have to install Microsoft's Dot Net Framework before you can
install the drivers. ATI provides a link to the latest version of Dot Net
Framework on the same page where you download the drivers.
