Constantly Losing Speech Output

[RiverWind <riverwind shellworld net>]

I am having the very devil of a problem with my speech output. I am
using Orca, and I have recently installed the latest version of the
Squeeze Disk. I was under the impression that the squeeze disk
boasted certain fixes that make the speech output for Orca more
reliable and less prone to inexplicably cut out. However, I am
constantly losing speech when ever I use either set of cursor
manipulation keys, I.E. the numpad and the actual cursor keys in
the middle.

One moment I have speech, and the very next I do not. I have to
restart my system in order to regain speech output. I would
sincerely appreciate any and all help that I can get with this
problem.

I am terrified at the thought of installing anything else on this
system, because every time I do, my media player stops functioning.
However, I will do what ever is needful in order to fix my problem.
Finding a comprehensive manual on the Gnome system would help
greatly.

As always, thanks ever so much in advance.
