Hi again, I followed your instructions precisely, but I am still doing something wrong. When I paste the script, leaving everything exactly as it is said only changing "username" to my choice. I press F2 and I get a loud beep and then it syas "void filler..." and some other stuff. I tried skipping the step and going with the CTRL+S and I get a number of "script compile errors. What am I doing incorrectly? I should add that I'm using a windows xp system.
Thanks for any suggestions Regards Kerry -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2012 11:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Changing the Jaws Start up message Hello there; I will paste the script at the bottom; Here's how I ad the script. 1, I open notepad, 2, I paste in the text, 3, I make the necessary changes, To the following lines; Let UserName = ("YourName,") ;Replace the quoted text in the line above to match your name, making sure to leave the comma.
