Hello This problem sounds familiar to me and I wonder if it really does have anything to do with Jaws 9?
Is your colleague using a different or new keyboard? Has she recently learnt touch typing? Is this problem happening when using Word or Notepad for typing? I have sometimes irritatingly turned Narrator on by mistake when typing and the "heel" of my right palm has pressed the window key by mistake when I am typing U. It took me a while to realise that this was why Narrator was coming on as I was oblivious to my typing fault. I occasionally hit the control key with my hand as well without realising it. This probably means that I need a writ support to lift my hands off the keys more. I do not personally find these comfortable. You could try deploying a wrist support to see if that removes the problem. Alternatively try adjusting the back keyboard "legs" to see if this causes any change. Personally I have just got used to the nuisance of Narrator occasionally coming on and then having to exit it. I prefer to do this than use a wrist support.

Thanks for the info though.

If this can't be done in normal conditions, bring up the utilities menu with Windows-U, u, and then close the utilities window and tab to the narrator exit button and enter. . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Williamson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2007 8:14 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Problems with MS Narrator Hey gang, I've got a colleague who states that her MS narrator occasionally pops up without any prompt from her, causing a verbosity battle between JAWS and the narrator. She is running an XP OS and was using JAWS 8 (she just switched to 9). I was wondering if anyone had ever experienced this and if so, what can be done to keep this from happening. Thanks in advance.
