Running BIAB 2008.5 under XP Pro along with the screen reader JAWS for Windows, I am having a problem with the DXi Synth Settings dialog and wonder if anyone has any suggestions for getting past the problem.

The basic issue is that, with JAWS running, each time I get into the Opt / MIDI and Audio Settings / DXi Synth Settings... dialog, my PC slows down to a complete crawl such that I can't use the computer anymore until I kill JAWS and BIAB. Since I am trying to continue improving the BIAB scripts associated with JAWS in order to improve the accessibility of BIAB with JAWS, this is presenting a real problem to me.

I believe that the problem has to do with one of the soft synths (loaded from another musical program on my system) which BIAB is recognizing and somehow interferes with JAWS. I don't particularly want to uninstall any of these other programs. I've noticed, however, that when these other programs are uninstalled and I only have the Edirol/Roland softh synth on the system (which I am successfully using with BIAB), this problem does not occur. Nor does the problem occur when JAWS is not running, but then I can't use the system!

Anyway, I tried removing all entries from the DXiPluginsList.ini file except the Edirol soft synth. However, when I start BIAB and go into the DXi Synth Settings dialog again, this file is repopulated.

Question: Is there some way of keeping BIAB from registering these other soft synths or might there be another way around this issue?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Below is the listing of my DXiPluginsList.ini file. perhaps someone knows if one of these synths is a particular problem?
