One way you can be sure that the current version of Jaws starts is to go into the settings of either version. In 7.0, in options/basics, uncheck the box that says, "run Jaws when windows starts." Now, go into Jaws 9.0 and go through the same steps, only check the box that says, "run Jaws when windows starts." This will ensure that Jaws 9.0 is the version that launches when the computer starts. To my knowledge, there is no hotkey that will tell you what version of Jaws is currently running.

Hello Lino, I'm afraid that keystroke only tells you the version of Microsoft Windows you're running, not the version of Jaws. Also, the icon on the desktop doesn't tell you anything if you've got both versions installed, as both icons will be on the desktop once you install the other versions. Not everyone uninstalls the older version Lino. To get the version of Jaws you're running, you have to press insert+J, then up arrow to about, and the ensuing dialog box will tell you which version of Jaws you're running. Sorry for the improper subject line, but I didn't want people getting confused with the keystroke Lino outlined, and the original question. Sorry Rick.
