[Nfb-science] JAWS and Command Prompt: A Weird Issue

[Chun Chao]

Hello Christine:

My suggestion is to see if the computer's system log has a save point prior
to when this issue occurred and perform a "rollback" so that JAWS will be
returned to whatever setting it used to have before this happened.

The nice thing about the system rollback feature is that all applications on
the computer gets reset to the way they were while still allowing files that
the user have accumulated to remain on the computer.

Good luck,
C.C. Alan

Subject: [Nfb-science] JAWS and Command Prompt: A Weird Issue

Hi All,
  my apologies for the second JAWS question, but it relates to my work as a
scientist.

  I am regularly using command  prompt for running programs relating to my
work. the problem is that somehow I accidentally set JAWS so that it only
speaks information when the following occurs:

a)  I up-arrow.

b)  I  Left or right arrow, and in these cases, it  repeatedly states the
information under the cursor in a rapid fashion (e.g., if the character
under the cursor when I arrow to the left is a, JAWS restates in a rapid
fashion "a a a a ...").

c)  When I do a control+c.

  My  computer in my lab properly works with command prompt and reads each
line as I arrow up or down and does not do the rapid repetition...

  Thus, I am wondering if anyone can help provide details about how to make
my JAWS software at home perform as it should. I have no idea what I did to
cause it to do this as it used to work just fine:).

  I am running JAWS 9.0 and Windows XP.

  Any help with this issue would be much appreciated as it makes work less
efficient.
Many thanks,
Christine
