I also get those when shutting down the system. Windows xpsp3 here. And I am running the security updates for jaws 10. so why would it happen on shutdown? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Doug Lee Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2009 4:03 PM To: screen access software with skype Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] Intro, and a plea for help
Got a few things to say here... First, from your email, it sounds like you're using the new security release of JAWS 11, or possibly the security release of JAWS 9 or 10. There is a known problem in those JAWS versions wherein you hear those messages about assigning keys. The messages are admittedly annoying but harmless, and in my experience, they only occur on login and UAC screens, and only in Vista and Windows 7. I have heard that one or two people may have heard those messages in Windows XP though. You say your machine is shutting down. SkypeWatch shouldn't cause that even if installed incorrectly, so I'm not sure what's going on there. As for getting SkypeWatch to announce things, once it is correctly installed, you'll need to make sure you have enabled the appropriate systray alerts for the things you want announced. That's done through Tools, Options, Notifications in Skype itself. And yes, it's ok to share Skype names on this list. We try to minimize the social chatter but not squelch it entirely. :) On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 05:09:36PM -0600, Rachael Warke wrote: Hi! I've been using Skype for awhile now, but only just learned about this list. I'm looking forward to finding out lots of things about this wonderful program, and hopefully, at some time, I'll be able to help someone with it. But, for now, I think I'm in deep trouble here! I tried to use the skypewatch installer, and since then, I've gotten an error message every time I shut down the computer. I can't copy the message, because the computer is shutting down, but it says something like failed to install alt+scroll lock+f9 for sw" I think I'm forgetting part of it. Has anyone encountered this, and can I fix it? Also, it seems that it isn't working at all, since it isn't announcing anything. Also, a friend says that her file was called SW Installer0.1, and had a ReadMe file. Mine was called SkypeWatch Installer 1.00.3.exe, and had no read me file in the folder. If this makes sense to anyone, I would be more than grateful for a little help! I'm looking forward to getting to know you, and I promise, I'm not always such a whiner! Oh, and do we share skype names on this list?
