Hi Ryam, I usually get this message when Jaws is initialized and when I open Excel. It also happens when you shutdown Jaws and bring up another version or the same version.
Basically, just ignore the message and wait until Jaws stop speaking. I believe that the initializing is caused by changes to the workbook that you saved. For example, any changes to the verbosity like title reading of rows or column will be saved in PersonalizedSettings of your current version of Jaws in"Explore my settings". I am assuming that you have made verbosity changes to any worksheet and save them. I do not know if the message you are talking about will come up if no changes in the settings were made. I don't think that it has to do with Jaws scripts. So, after Jaws stop speaking, you are good to go with the worksheet.
