Good evening Everyone! Last Thursday I wanted to scan some information that is not accessible in any other media. It had been several months since I used Kurzweil, but obviously, something is messed up big time. For some unknown reason, when I began to start a scan, I heard a little ding and all speech ceased. I tried everything I could think of to regain speech, but ended up restarting my system. I phoned tech support at Kurzweil, and the nice gentleman there suggested that I download the latest driver for my EPSON scanner. Thanks to a terrific tech support friend at FTP, that was accomplished yesterday. To wipe the slate clean, so to speak, I removed Kurzweil from the control panel, did a disk cleanup, a defrag, then installed Kurzweil again. Initially, it seemed to be working just fine, which thrilled me, and consequently, I followed the steps from the JAWS-Users site to put JAWS to sleep. I think I did it correctly, but unfortunately after refreshing my memory on all the various key functions of Kurzweil, that nasty little ding to begin a scan, totally halted all speech again. In pure frustration, I removed Kurzweil again, but now whenever I alt-tab, Jaws tries to speak, but is abruptly silenced. My question is, How do I reverse the steps of putting JAWS to sleep? I have three versions of JAWS on my computer; 5.1 was the one I used last night, primarily because it has always functioned the best. I have a real aversion to messing with settings, but logic tells me that there must be a way to safely reverse that process. It was suggested that I upgrade Kurzweil from version 7, which is what I have now, to the latest version, which is 11. I am trying to decide now whether to call tech support at Kurzweil again, or wait until my son visits in six weeks. Something tells me that if I upgrade Kurzweil, my scanner will most likely need to be replaced as well. Hopefully, my explanation is understandable. If any of you have advice on any of the above mentioned, please pass it my way. I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks in advance. For now...Shirley "Freedom is not the right to do as you please, but the liberty to do as you ought!"
