Chrome is a real cutie. Not only doesn't it work very well with JAWS, it causes it to hang upon exit, and can cost your activation. I'm dealing with that problem right now.

Maybe some of the checkboxes to turn it off don't speak either. I remember it's either CCleaner or Advanced System Care that turns inline autocomplete back on in Internet Explorer when you run it, which for using Jaws is one of the most annoying things having it speak partial ends of words as you try to type in the address bar, so I keep turning it off. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shane Hecker" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 16, 2015 6:11 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Warning About Downloading CCleaner From JAWS Users Programs Page > Try insert+space bar, o, then w.
