moderated latest JAWS locking up

HH. Smith Jr.
Hello Fellow Listerrs,
I have been very busy with school and haven’t kept up with the list; however, I have been having a reoccurring problem of JAWS going silent but it is still loaded. I have to turn on narrator and exit out of JAWS and then restart JAWS. I am not sure if thread has been posted before, but if it has please redirect me.
Thx,

Not that I think this can be solved on the list, but what programs do you have open when this happens?
Is it a situation you can duplicate reliably?
Perhaps asking FS to tandem in with you so they could see it happen?

Hi,
don’t ask me why or how, but the problem seems to have disappeared after I changed my USB keyboard. For some reason, the insert key would not work; so I changed the keyboard and that seems to have solve the problem. I am as baffled as the next guy.

Most keyboards are typically cheap and have a lifespan of a couple of years before they do strange things so if you use a basic USB keyboard it's a good idea to always have a spare around or invest in something higher end like a Das Keyboard wired mechanical keyboard, they cost around $160 US I think but in my opinion are worth it. Another good one is the Logitech K780 which is a wireless keyboard. It comes with a USB dongle for use with a PC or laptop but also can be paired to two additional devices via Bluetooth. I highly discourage people to use the Bluetooth connection with a PC, the USB dongle is way more responsive. I have had mine for at least 2 or maybe even 3 years and it's still doing good.

As well as the ergonomic model from Logitech, K860. I’ve only had it less than a year, but it works great for typing on the computer and so easy to switch to the iPhone as needed. $130.

The why, is that your keyboard was the problem.
Glad you got that sorted.
