Jaws 12 question - Jaws unresponsive to keystrokes while in folder and link lists
|
Murray Peat <murraytp@...>
Hi people, my apologies if this has already been asked.
I recently upgraded from Jaws 11 pro to Jaws 12 pro. I am operating on xp professional and use high contrast settings. One of the first things I noticed with Jaws 12 is that when I am in a folder list in say outlook Jaws continues with its narrative even when I press the letter of the folder I wish to go to such as J for junk email. This happens on all applications and is of particular annoyance when I use f7 on the net to bring up the links list. When I hit a key to find a certain link Jaws still continues to read the link it is on and shows no haste in updating to the new link. I can get around this by using the control key to silence Jaws then I can hit the first letter of the link or folder I want and this does the trick however it is an extreme annoyance and slows things down for me. Does anyone know of a fix for this or is this just a new feature on Jaws 12 and I am stuck with it. I have all the latest Jaws 12 updates on my system so as far as I know there is no outstanding update available to help. I sent a request to Freedom Scientific however have not heard back thus far. Thanks kindly Murray

professional equipment you will have problem with xp, I used to get around it by running lunar a product from another stable, I find using windows 7 it is much easier. I have actually removed lunar from my xp laptop just take care not to use high contrast, the laptop has little resources but has kept going for over 6years and as it is a secondary machine just put up with it, is there a reason you need high contrast settings I wonder regards
