[JAWS-Users] error message. Windows media player.

[Kimsan]

Hi,

Not sure if the same message will pop up if I use a different player but I'm
trying to listen to a goldwave tutorial mp3 and when I right click and have
it play in windows media player, I get the following message:

C:\Users\kimsan\Documents\random\goldwave tutorials\Goldwave With
Jaws\Goldwave With Jaws\2. Intermediate\average levels.mp3

C:\Users\kimsan\Documents\random\goldwave tutorials\Goldwave With
Jaws\Goldwave 

With Jaws\2. Intermediate\average levels.mp3

Server execution failed

OK

Can someone clue me in on what's going on?

Thanks

Hello:

 

This week, I'm noticing jaws just randomly freezes on me. I could be reading

I would do the jaws dump command and then try to bring it back with the

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws and freezing

[Michelle Clark]

I am using Windows 10 and JAWS 18 and notice it as well for a while. I
thought it was my computer. However, the interesting thing is we were told
at some point if the computer freezes, JAWS will restart. Not sure which one
it is.

However, it is irritating. Should not be occurring with a HP laptop with 8G.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws and freezing

[Cristóbal]

I'm going to have to pay more attention to this now. The only time I
absolutely know when Jaws freezes on me is when running a spell check in
Outlook before sending a message. It'll sometimes hang for a bit or outright
crash. I do get the odd Jaws freezing/hanging, but it's so random otherwise
that outside of the spellcheck thing, I can't really pinpoint a specific
behavior or sequence to it. I can usually tell when it crashes because my
Brailliant display will then just show the standard "Humanware Brailliant BI
40" message until Jaws comes back. This too is how I can tell in general
when Jaws has dumped on me since sometimes it can also be a pop up on the
screen or some other program that's frozen and gotte in the way of Jaws's
ability to speak. My sighted wife's bailed me out a few times by reaching
over and grabbing the mouse and closing whatever might be on the screen. And
like magic, Jaws comes back on its own.
There was an issue earlier this morning with Malwarebytes and some webcheck
update that was pushed out causing some weird ram spike and making
everything slow, crashy and buggy. It was locking up Jaws, NVDA and
Narrator. No matter what I tried, I would lose speech and I would have to
restart my desktop and laptop.
The only way I found out that it was Malwarebytes was by jumping online
between pc reboots and browsing through Twitter with my iPhone. There I saw
a tweet by them acknowledging that an app update was causing problems for
folks. They put out a fix about an hour later and both machines for me at
least are working as they should. It was a pretty stressful morning for
sure.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws and freezing

[Tammy]

I had that problem on my Windows 8 laptop with Jaws 17.  Naturally, FS told me 
it was my computer so they did updates.  I bought a new windows 10 laptop 
running Jaws 18 and I have recently started having the same problem.  If 
somebody figures it out, I hope it is shared.  This is frustrating!
Take care!

Subject: [JAWS-Users] jaws and freezing

Hello:

 

This week, I'm noticing jaws just randomly freezes on me. I could be reading
an email, surfing the web, writing in word, yelling at the dog, and poof it
would just stop working.

I would do the jaws dump command and then try to bring it back with the
hotkey but it doesn't come back up, unless I reboot. Thoughts?

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws and freezing

[Kimsan]

Yeah, same here.
At first I thought it was Avast, when I accidentally installed it with
CCleaner, but after removing Avast, it still occurred.
But, others are experiencing the same symtoms, so Avast is not the issue.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 2018 repair

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi,

I didn't know JAWS already had a script that simulates this. It seems to be 
designed for use with a touch screen.
Be aware that this script actually sends SHIFT+F10, not APPLICATIONS; but as I 
said, usually there are no functionality differences.

Hi

Instead of Modifying the default.jss and default.jsb files for a new script, 
you could set up a keystroke to make the PrintScreen key be your applications 
key.  There is already a script in JAWS 17, 18, 2018 and possibly earlier to 
invoke the applications key.

If you do not currently have a default.jkm file in your JAWS user folder, 
create a new file with the full name of default.jkm in your JAWS user folder 
and add the following lines:

[Common Keys]
PrintScreen=SendApplicationKey

If you already have a default.jkm file in your JAWS user folder just add the 
line 

PrintScreen=SendApplicationKey

In the [Common Keys]Section of the file.

It is dangerous to have a copy of the default.jsb  file in your JAWS user 
folder.  Any JAWS update can install a new version of default.jsb that can make 
your copy of that file useless.  And has been pointed out, you can only use 
that copy of default.jsb with the version and update that were used to save it. 
 But using a keystroke instead will be compatible with any version of JAWS.  
Also the JKM file can be moved to any version of JAWS.

Thanks for the help.  I followed your directions and now seem to not be getting 
the funky error messages.  

Now, what do I do to get the printpage key to work like the application key?  I 
know that shift-f10 does that but I want to simulate the application key with a 
single keystroke.  I still have the script I added to the JFW 18 default 
script.  How do I get it into the 2018 default script?

Thanks.

you have to do one more thing to actually save the default.jss and default.jsb 
files that you deleted.
you have to open the default.jss file and then open the pull down menu and use 
save.
when you do the two files you mentioned will be saved in that folder where you 
deleted them.
if you don't jaws will use the factory script files from the program 
data\freedom scientific\scripts folder instead.

Hi Ralph,

Now that you told what you were doing, I can give you the exact fix.
When you modified the Default script file in JAWS 18 and pressed CTRL+S, Script 
Manager saved the modified version in the JAWS user folder. When you imported 
settings to JAWS 2018 the file was also saved in the JAWS 2018 user folder, but 
since the file is from 18.0 and you didn't used the Use statement, the problem 
is that JAWS 2018 is using the Default.jsb file based on JAWS 18.0.
To fix this, with JAWS closed, go to the following folder:
C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Roaming\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\2018\Settings\Enu In 
this folder, find and delete the files named Default.jss and Default.jsb, then 
restart JAWS and the problem should be resolved.

As a suggestion, if your keyboard hasn't the Applications key, you usually 
won't need to make any modifications to get back that functionality into 
another key. This is because Windows always had a keyboard shortcut for opening 
context menus when your keyboard has not Applications key: you can just press 
SHIFT+F10 and, except in less standard programs like games in full 
SHIFT+screen mode,
you will see the same context menu. Similarly, if you're using a keyboard in 
which there's no Windows key, you can quickly open the Start menu by pressing 
CTRL+ESCAPE.

Hope it helps!

[JAWS-Users] jaws and freezing

[Kimsan]

Hello:

 

This week, I'm noticing jaws just randomly freezes on me. I could be reading
an email, surfing the web, writing in word, yelling at the dog, and poof it
would just stop working.

I would do the jaws dump command and then try to bring it back with the
hotkey but it doesn't come back up, unless I reboot. Thoughts?

Thank you, and I'll try to do it soon.

Hi Patti

No.  If you set up the keystroke to make PrintScreen the applications key, you 
will be able to use either the printscreen key or the applications key on your 
laptop and the printscreen key on your wireless keyboard.

Hey Mike,
On my laptop is an application key, but on my wireless keyboard there is not an

If I do the change, will it miss up the application key on the laptop?

Hi

Instead of Modifying the default.jss and default.jsb files for a new script, 
you could set up a keystroke to make the PrintScreen key be your applications 
key.  There is already a script in JAWS 17, 18, 2018 and possibly earlier to 
invoke the applications key.

If you do not currently have a default.jkm file in your JAWS user folder, 
create a new file with the full name of default.jkm in your JAWS user folder 
and add the following lines:

[Common Keys]
PrintScreen=SendApplicationKey

If you already have a default.jkm file in your JAWS user folder just add the 
line 

PrintScreen=SendApplicationKey

In the [Common Keys]Section of the file.

It is dangerous to have a copy of the default.jsb  file in your JAWS user 
folder.  Any JAWS update can install a new version of default.jsb that can make 
your copy of that file useless.  And has been pointed out, you can only use 
that copy of default.jsb with the version and update that were used to save it. 
 But using a keystroke instead will be compatible with any version of JAWS.  
Also the JKM file can be moved to any version of JAWS.

Hi Ralph,

Now that you told what you were doing, I can give you the exact fix.
When you modified the Default script file in JAWS 18 and pressed CTRL+S, Script 
Manager saved the modified version in the JAWS user folder. When you imported 
settings to JAWS 2018 the file was also saved in the JAWS 2018 user folder, but 
since the file is from 18.0 and you didn't used the Use statement, the problem 
is that JAWS 2018 is using the Default.jsb file based on JAWS 18.0.
To fix this, with JAWS closed, go to the following folder:
C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Roaming\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\2018\Settings\Enu In 
this folder, find and delete the files named Default.jss and Default.jsb, then 
restart JAWS and the problem should be resolved.

As a suggestion, if your keyboard hasn't the Applications key, you usually 
won't need to make any modifications to get back that functionality into 
another key. This is because Windows always had a keyboard shortcut for opening 
context menus when your keyboard has not Applications key: you can just press 
SHIFT+F10 and, except in less standard programs like games in full 
SHIFT+screen mode,
you will see the same context menu. Similarly, if you're using a keyboard in 
which there's no Windows key, you can quickly open the Start menu by pressing 
CTRL+ESCAPE.

Hope it helps!
