MessageHi Ciaran, Louise and Tony, Thanks for your mails. Next time the message came up I was going to try the PC Cursor but it hasn't come up since and JAWS not read it out. There was no 'ok' button on it though. It was either 'Send Error Report' or 'Don't Send Error Report'. I think it was an application crashing not JAWS but the I.T. people in work aren't sure what application exactly is crashing because it crashes when I'm using different applications. There's no I.T. person familiar with JAWS in work as I amthe the first JAWS user to work there.

Depending on the error though Jaws may still not read anything. Do you have any idea what the message is about? Is it Jaws itself that's crashing or is it another application? Since your PC won't turn off normally it sounds like a total system crash. If this is the case, to turn the machine off, try pressing and holding the on / off button for about 10 seconds. I find that this does the trick for me. No need to wait until the battery drains. Hope this is useful.

These error report messages keep coming up but JAWS doesn't always read them out. When it doesn't, the laptop won't let me do anything. At the weekend I even just tried powering it off but it wouldn't. I just had to let the battery die cause there was nobody to get me out of the error report message. Is there anyway I could get JAWS to read this message? I know there is a key stroke for reading messages if for example a message comes up and JAWS only reads out the buttons available on the message, that'd be insert and b, for Barry. But that isn't working with this message, any ideas? Roslyn ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please consider the Environment before printing this email.
