Hi, all.

 

I wasn't really planning on putting in a extremely serious effort at the
ARRL International DX CW Contest this week-end, due to a number of other
things going on here.  However, I have tried to be in there a vit, and have
run into an annoying problem with the N3FJP logging software for the
contest.

 

Every time, right after I log a new contact, Jaws starts speaking random
letters for a few seconds, and then, repeatedly speaks the letter Y in
pairs, that are spoken about every 3 seconds.

 

It's almost like something is popping up on the screen that is making Jaws
speak these extra characters.  Yet, I had my sighted  XYL check, and she
sees nothing extra on the screen.

 

I have tried the insert 2 options in order to lessen the amount that Jaws
speaks, but this has made no difference at all.

 

I am running Jaws at the intermediate verbosity level, and have done so with
other logging programs without having this problem.

 

Does anyone know what I might do to lessen this rather annoying issue?

 

I'm using Jaws 14 and Windows XP on this particular computer.

 

I have also posted this quiry, in slightly revised form, to the Jaws e-mail
list.
