Christina,
One possible solution to your de lima might be to reinstall JFW. My
thinking on this is that if you installed Openbook Ruby after JFW, the
registry settings relating to eloquence might have become "confused." By
this I mean that some files used by eloquence in JFW are also included with
the version that came with Openbook. By reinstalling JFW, the relevant
settings should be properly reset. I have both on my system and am
experiencing none of the symptoms that you seem to be having.
One other culprit could be the items installed by MS Office in the startup
group. These programs are not required for office to work properly and
often cause problems with screen readers because they can cause misleading
things to happen with system focus. If you have Office installed, try
removing those items relating to Office from your startup group and see
what happens.
Regards,
Roland

Hello Bob and David,and anyone else who can help with the problem:
Okay, heres the low down on my computer (I hope this will help with trying
to figure this out.)
Specifications for computer:
It is a Pentium 2 350 mega hertz processor with 64 mega byte ram, and 6.4
gb hard drive. I don't have an external voice synthesizer, I do however use
elequence/via voice. (Which depends on which program I'm using such as Open
Book Ruby or JFW 3.3026)
The programs I have are: JFW 3.3026, Outlook Express, Internet Exployer 4.01
MS Office 97, and Quicken 98 Deleuxe.
Here are some other facts about when it stops and when it doesn't and any
other pertinent information that might be needed to know:
1. Any time I've been working in a program for more than 10 minuetes it quit
talking but not always. It's not picky about this time.
2. In order for me to get JFW to start again I have to shut down completely
or restart from the start menue.
3. It will not start talking if I press "insert f4" to unload and then press
"control, alt and J".
4. JFW is not checked to start when the computer is turned on. I must start
it with "control, alt., J" to have it start talking.
5. I can alt. tab between applications and it will talk but it will stop
talking sometime after I have been in a program for a while. It's not picky
about the application or when it wants to quit.
6. It has always started talking again when I restart the computer after
choosing restart or shut down.
7. I have run Dr. Jaws and it has found nothing wwrong with the system and
says it is compatible to run JFW.
8. It is not in sleep mode.
9. I do not run any other program that uses sound at the same time I'am
using JFW.
10. There are no error messages when it quits talking. I have had a sighted
person to help me when this happens and none have shown up.
11. I have no problem running any of my other programs except for when JFW
stops talking. I know this because my hubby has no problem using the
computer. (and no, JFW is not running when he uses it, and he has not
changed any of the settings or anything else.).
Well I hope this helps with trying to figur out this very frustrating
problem of mine. Thanks again for all the help!
Christina
