[nfbcs] Two JAWS issues

[David Andrews]

If JAWS is properly authorized it should not be in demo mode.  I 
would contact Freedom Scientific if I were you.

Usually stuttering audio happens when sound chips on the Motherboard 
are used along with computer's main memory for voice generation -- 
not  a separate sound card.  This used to be a big problem, but is 
less so with newer laptops.  If her laptop is old, doesn't have a lot 
of memory, and/or has a slow processor, there may not be much you can 
do.  Update audio drivers to the most recent.  I suppose you could 
also disable main sound, and get an external USB sound box and use that.
