Hello All,
I recently heard that Microsoft will discontinue support for Windows XP in March of next year, 2014. With that in mind, I had asked a friend here in my area to install Windows 7 32-bit on my Netbook. So he did, and for a while, all had been going beautifully. I have Jaws 14 32-bit on the netbook, using Eloquence speech. For audio editing, I used Goldwave. Here is where I have run into a problem: I can use Goldwave fine for a while with JAWS and my Logitech ClearChat USB headphones plugged into a USB port, but after a while, JAWS stops speaking. Sometimes I can get JAWS to start speaking again by disconnecting the USB headphones, and eventually JAWS stops speaking altogether. At that point, I cannot even get my portable NVDA on my flash drive to start. When that happens, I ask a sighted person to read the screen to tell me what is displayed on it. With that information, I then save what I had been working on in Goldwave, close Goldwave, power-down the Netbook, and power it back up again and wait for JAWS to start speaking. I have noticed two interesting things: JAWS and Goldwave do not behave this way on the bigger, faster Dell laptop that I have, neither do they behave strangely when using NVDA on either machine. The problem I mentioned above only happens when I use JAWS, Goldwave and the USB headphones on the Netbook. So, could this be a problem in JAWS, a USB port issue on the Netbook, or is there something I am or am not doing? If anyone has any suggestions on what I can do to solve the problem or get around it, please do feel free to let me know on or off list.
