Re: [JAWS-Users] Geek Squad and jumping JAWS
This might sound like a dumb question but have you checked to be sure that the mousepad has not been activated if it is a laptop? When I took my laptop for repair it came back with the mousepad on and I could no longer access the normal ways to turn it off. I had to take it back so they could fix whatever setting controlled the Windows Mobility Center which is how I turn the mousepad on and off. The symptoms you describe sound like what happens to me when the mousepad is turned on. Just a thought.

I have done it several times in the past. This time I am running into several problems. When I have different Word docs open or I am writing an email using Outlook 2007 JAWS appears to jump to other Windows without warning. For example, I was writing an email and the focus kept jumping to things like the Desktop, time and date or battery check and I had to alt tab back to my email multiple times and its happening as I write this. The same thing happens when I am working in a MS Word doc. Any thoughts on how to get back my JAWS stability? I have JAWS 14 and Windows 7 Also, I went on the web and to my bank. When I tried to log in the bank gave me a notice that it did not recognize my computer and I had to go through a security process to get the recognition back. I never had these problems before with Geek Squad but I noticed that the people are new and not as sharp as the old ones who suddenly disappeared.

Re: [JAWS-Users] [Bulk] Re: CTRL keys do not work.
Hello, In my case, I could make it happen by hitting the left shift+control key shortcut. It would change my keyboard type and, as I indicated in my note below, the right control key would remain down. So, for example, if I hit the Tab key with the right Alt key, I would get Alt+Control+Tab. I've experienced the JAWS problem in the past and I actually did try your solution of rapidly tapping the control key. It didn't help. The problem went completely away after making adjustments in Regional and Language settings. I know we like to jump on it's a JAWS problem. But, in my case, it was not.

Re: [JAWS-Users] printers/scanners
Hi Colleen, I use the hp Office Jet 4630 all in one. I am an Open Book user as well, and the scanner on this printer works well with that program. I picked it up from hp directly for $99, but I think it runs around $129 for the full price. Great printer.

[JAWS-Users] converting JPG files to text format
I am using a site which will convert jpg files to Word document files. I will provide the link to the webpage below. JAWS is not reading the browse button, and I suspect other text as well. Does anyone know how I can make the conversion or get JAWS to read the text on the webpage? I am using JAWS 14 and 15. Here is the link to the webpage: http://www.ocronline.com/login.php Thank you.
