Hi Everyone,

Sometimes, I will get an error message in whatever program that I am using
at the moment and JAWS will stop speaking until the error message is
cleared.  For example, if I am using IE and I get the message "Internet
Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close", JAWS will fall
silent until I hit the "close" button to close Internet Explorer.  It will
not read the error message.  I either have to get someone sited to read the
error message or I run another screen reader to see what is going on.  Now,
when JAWS stops speaking, I will hit the space bar so that, if this is the
problem, it will close the error message.  I have also encountered this with
Word and Outlook.  I am running JAWS 15 but this happened with JAWS 14 too.
This has occurred ever sense I have had this computer.  I have not had this
problem on other machines.  This is the only PC that I have used that is
running Windows 8.  I don't know if it is a Windows 8 thing or something
specific to this computer.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Scott Duck
