Hi In JAWS 16, FS added code to determine if native JAWS code or events were being processed normally. After some specified time, if they are not being processed, this code assumes that something is in an infinite loop and will restart JAWS. I don't know if this code was added in a JAWS script, or in the JAWS base code itself. While a JAWS script is running, JAWS native code is not running. So in JAWS 16, there is a maximum elapsed time that a JAWS script can run. I have a JAWS script that looks for and documents debugging code I have added to scripts I've created which can run several minutes. I know it's monopolizing The PC, but I am willing to wait. I do not know if there's a way to change the default time a script is allowed to run or not. So there's no way I can run this script in JAWS 16. But it will still run fine in JAWS 15 and earlier. So if you're authorized for JAWS 16, you can run your script in JAWS 15 or earlier and then return to JAWS 16.

And, then how to re-enable it. I may be calling this event by the wrong name but it is the function that if JAWS crashes JAWS will automatically re-start. In the script below JAWS will crash and then re-start in JAWS 16. Using same script in JAWS 12 it does work. Please see see script for testing below and if anyone has any ideas for me please let me know. I thank you. Note, I have put this to FS and I am told to go back to basics of Scripting and that my variables are wrong and I need to use the LET . I am also told it is an infinite loop thus JAWS crashes. However, LET was dropped in JAWS 11 and this loop works in JAWS 12 and if one reduces the numbers you will find it does work in JAWS 16. However, with the current numbers of which I ned JAWS crashes, I believe, due to the new autoStart event. Just a guess. Put script in wordpad and attach a key var int i, int loopR, int loopC, int year, int colNum, int multiplier while loopR < 21 ;IniWriteString(ExtraScreenTitle,inttostring(loopR + multiplier), "Account #" + inttostring(loopR ) + "|0" + inttostring(loopR +6) +"|26|", extrafieldpath) delay(2) year = 2015 loopC = 1 colNum = 39 while loopC < 13 ;IniWriteString(ExtraScreenTitle,inttostring(loopR + loopC + multiplier), inttostring(year) + " for account #" + inttostring(loopR ) + "|0" + inttostring(loopR +6) + "|" + inttostring(colNum) + "|", extrafieldpath) delay(2) colNum = colNum + 3 loopC = loopC + 1 year = year - 1 EndWhile saystring(inttostring(loopR) + " completed") loopR = loopR + 1 multiplier = multiplier + 12 EndWhile saystring("FULL TEST completed") robin For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
