When the read title command is given, all that is heard is, "Title equals". The title bar of the window is not read. This occurred when only the JAWS windows was open and the command was given just after JAWS was started. 2. In Word (Office 2003), the read paragraph command (control + down arrow) sometimes brings up the new document template. 3. Within the Start Menu and the File Open windows, JAWS won't read the items with the arrow keys. To hear the items, one must use the navigation key and then use the "say line" command. This creates the need for double keystrokes and is frustrating. Essentially, we're having difficulties with sporadic reading by JAWS 5.0 on a Windows XP SP 2 system. It should probably also be noted that it is the dongle version of JAWS 5.0, though I wouldn't think that would be the cause of the sporadic reading. Any help you could give me would be appreciated! My next step is to contact Freedom Scientific but thought I'd check with you all first. Alos, I do know about the update to JAWS, but it does specifically state that the update is not needed for Windows XP SP2. Thanks!

I personally have not upgraded my computer access lab to SP2. The problems are occurring across campus where they have upgraded to SP2. Because of the time involved, SP2 was installed on top of the current build. In other words, the progression of installs is: Windows XP [SP1], JAWS 5.00.884 (I think is the number), then SP2. Generally speaking, would you say the best course of action is to uninstall the AT, then install major patches or service packs? Again, thank you all for the wonderful suggestions and tips.

SP2 really is an OS upgrade because of the extent of OS changes that it makes. On a similar note we have also found that Supernova dies with SP2 as well but it depends on the video card in the computer. It will not work at all with SIS video cards, but seems to be find with recent generation ATI cards. We were able to fix the problem by upgrading to a newer video card, and then doing a reinstall of Supernova.
