on my old PC back with version 4.5 of Jaws, I would have dyslexic jaws all
the time. What I mean, he thought lower case letters were upper case and
upper case were lower case. It was an annoying problem, and one reason I
took a while updating to version 5 and why I hesitate to update to 5.1.
Smile. But Sara you aren't the only one with it. It was a Win 98 SE
machine too, so not sure if that has to do with it.

That's fine. :-)
I had my capslock do something really weird once, when it seemed stuck no
matter what I did. It was actually that JAWS was confused in saying lower
case letters in a high pitched voice and caps in a lower pitched voice. I
just wanted to make sure you knew about it and weren't having such a stupid
problem. Sometimes i think that since I usually can fix the normal problems
computers can have, weird problems must search me out. lol
