In ;my experience blue screen are more often than not Video driver issues.
This can be very hard to correct and in the worst case scenarios I have had to reinstall windows itself to avoid these problems. Before this drastic step you could try the following. 1. Go to the web site of your video card manufacturer and download the latest driver and install this. You may have to repair or reinstall Jaws after this. Unfortunately some video driver setups and their websites may not be fully accessible and you may need sighted help but you could have a go. 2. If this does not work then reduce hardware acceleration on your video card to 80%. I have found Jaws works on my system at 80% but no lower and this can greatly reduce blue screen crashes. To reduce hardware acceleration on XP Pro 1. Go to Control Panel 2. Go to Display 3. Press Control Tab until you get to Settings Tab. 4. Tab until you get to Advanced. 5. Control Tab until you get to Troubleshooting page. 6. Press Tab until you hear Hardware Acceleration and "left right slider". 7. Use your left cursor key to reduce Hardware Acceleration to 80%. 7. Tab to OK and keep on pressing OK to close display settings. NB some video drivers insert their own troubleshooting tab under display but I have found it better to use the windows troubleshooting under the Advanced tab as described above. Can't guarantee it will work but it has helped me on some systems in the past.
