Re: [Blind-Computing] JAWS couldn't read winamp playlist anymore
Oops, your email got lost in the shuffle and I just found it. But yes, I restarted the computer and Winamp before I decided to do a system restore. But I'm sure it's a keystroke I did that messed it up. I just don't know which one it was. -Original Message- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:blind-computing-bounces@jaws- On Behalf Of Brad Dunse' Had you tried closing WinAmp and restarting? Same goes for Jaws? Jaws has a nasty habit when running for long times, on my system anyway, of mucking up application key strokes. I've had it disable some hot keys, and otherwise not red properly if I hadn't shut it down and restarted it. I suspect when you restored teh reboot of Jaws and perhaps yrou system helped. If you hadn't, in the future I'd try just rebooting your system to see if that works. If you'd done this, perhaps you installed another program or driver just prior to this happening?

This is version 5.581. Anything newer I already tried and it was a total disaster, so I don't intend to ever upgrade Winamp again until I'm forced to. Chris Feist - The one and only!
