Hi Michael. Thank you very much for this bit of information; it's very useful.
JAWS did the same thing to me regarding the JAWS activation wen I replaced a sound card on a computer recently. It did that to me once when I installed an internal wireless card in a laptop. It seems JAWS is pretty quirky when it comes to things like that. I wish it were not so. I wonder if anyone knows of a way to prevent deactivation of authorizations on hardware installation. I'll look into this and post if I find anything. Tony Hernandez I believe that the Bible is the Word of God.

Hello everyone, I posted earlier about JAWS being sluggish in responding for typing echo and when using keyboard navigation. Well, when I was looking on Freedom Scientific's website at JAWS Technical Notices and fixes (for nothing in particular, I saw the link on the JAWS-Users tips and tricks page and thought I'd take a look) I came across something about JAWS being sluggish with keyboard echo and navigation in Windows Vista. So I went to that page to see what FS had to say on the topic and they said that some computers with the Sigma Tel Audio Codec exhibited said problems, and that the way to fix it was to download an updated driver. Well I don't have the Sigma Tel Audio Codec, that I know of; I have a Realtec High Definition audio card, so I thought "What the heck," and went to the Realtec website and downloaded the updated driver. Installing the updated driver required sighted assistance (or a Braille display/external synthesizer, if you have one), as the installer was going to uninstall the old driver before installing the update. When my computer restarted, JAWS for some reason wanted to re-activate the authorization; I let it and when it was done I realized that the problem was fixed! I just wanted to post this information so that anyone else on the list who is having this problem has something to go on for fixing it. My advice would be to go onto the website of your sound card manufacturer and try and get an updated driver just as I did. To the webmasters of the JAWS-Users list, I'd strongly recommend putting a link to FS's notice on your website as this seems to be a problem a lot of people are having.
