Hello list,
So I took the plunge with the beta over the weekend and had the oddest experience that I hadnt encountered with previous JFW beta cycles. I already submitted a bug report to FS, but since this bug doesnt really allow me to work with the beta, I was curious to know if this is something others have come across or if it was perhaps something that went wrong just on my system. In any event, I downloaded the exe file (64 bit) and went through the process of instalation like normal. At the end doing the whole restart for changes to take affect etc After this was done and my computer powered back up, there was no indication of Jaws 15 anywhere on my desktop or in the start menu. The FSReader 3.0 icon did appear on my desktop and indeed launched fine so this showed me that something was installed. I eventually went through the windows explorer, Program Files, Freedom scientific, Run Jaws and then to the Jaws 15 folder. There I found the JFW 15 exe file and figured I would just for convenience sake throw a short cut to the file on my desktop. After placing the JFW.exe short cut and renaming it for Jaws 15, I unloaded JFW 14 and started JFW 15. However, while using the JFW 15 beta, I am finding that the settings I change in the voice profile section arent sticking. Even though I speed up the rate of speech and press the ok button, Jaws reverts to its default slow rate setting. I also tried the startup wizard under the help menu, but it along with the check for authorization and check for updates options appear as unavailable. Like I said, I already submitted these problems through the beta form, but since theres no real option to call it in and get more detailed support, I thought Id write to see if others dealt with these same issues and what if anything they did to fix them since as of now, I cant really work with JFW 15 and dont know if this issue will persist through to when it finally gets released in its final form.
