Hi All, Running Windows 7 Pro & Jaws 15 thru 18. I was hiding several icons in the notification area of the Taskbar properties, & after doing so Jaws quit announcing the Safe To Remove dialogue. The Safe To Remove icon was showing in the system tray, but Jaws just wouldn't announce the Safe To Remove dialogue after clicking on a drive I wanted to remove. Below is what I did to fix it.
When attempting to remove drives from the system tray via the, Safe To Remove Hardware icon, & Jaws doesn't make the Safe To Remove announcement, & all your settings for sounds are correct try the following: 1. Open the Taskbar properties, tab to the, Notification Area Customize button, & press the spacebar to open. 2. Tab to the, Windows host process (Rundll32) Combo box icon, & if the, Hide Icon And Notifications, is highlighted this is probably the most likely reason Jaws isn't announcing the Safe To Remove Hardware dialogue. 3. Arrow up / down & highlight either the, Show Icon In Notifications, or the, Only Show Notifications option. 4. Tab to, Okay, press the spacebar, again tab to, Okay, press enter to save & close. This happened to me & doing the above steps fixed the problem. Take care. Mike Sent from my iBarstool. Early to bed, early to rise, keep my iHemorrhoids from being a surprise.
