Hailley and Corey - This seems to be a very intermittent problem that some users experience and others (a majority) never see. There's some thought that it may be related to a Windows update from last spring, but I've never seen the details on which update it might have been. I've installed e

You'd have to uninstall JAWS 7.10, including all shared components, then install 7.0. You should _never_ install an older version after installing a newer one unless you do this. - Original Message - From: "Sarah" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Monday, January 15, 2007 1:16 AM Subject:

While this is more or less a moot point now, since you've removed the game, here's something to remember in the future. You went about silencing JAWS in the wrong way to begin with. What you really _should_ have done was to load the game, then open the Configuration Manager. JAWS would have
