Right Hannah. What I meant is this. If you use Stand By Mode, Jaws gets
weird and sometimes doesn't come back correctly. Some laptops have another
mode called "Sleep" which is supposed to keep the primary circuits alive
while the rest of the machine is shut down. Okay, not a bad idea, right?
Wrong! Sleep Mode and the complete shut down take just about as long to
recover. Sometimes, especially with certain models, you lose focus or the
system hangs up and you can't do anything. Maybe if you could see what was
on the screen, it might be different. But for my money, I believe in
keeping it simple, Hannah. That means if I'm not using my laptop, I move
the cursor to "Turn Off" and press Enter.
Today's laptops are so fast that it makes no difference at all in the
recovery time. The other advantage is that it gives Jaws time to reacquire
the screens.

Chris, that's an excellent idea. With a modern laptop, there's very
little difference between the two. The Boot time is almost the same.

Think I'm going to have to encourage her to shut it down at night or
when she's going out, rather than putting it to sleep. What do you all
think?

I know that with a previous Laptop I had, it did that. That Laptop
ended up breaking. I think it was because I used to let it sit there
unattended too much. My best recommendation is, when you are not using
your computer, turn it off.

My Del laptop has started doing something similar to this. Sometimes
after
I have walked away from my laptop it will go to sleep, hibernate,
stand-by
or something. Most times when I return to my laptop all I need to do
is hit
the down arrow and press enter and I'm back in. There are other times
when
nothing will get it to come back on except for holding down the power
button
for at least 30 seconds or more. This has happened when working off
both AC
and battery.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Unusual problem with laptop
Hello all,
Has anyone heard of the below.
Hannah put her Vista laptop to sleep. When she woke it up the entire
machine
froze and she can't even power it off, despite holding it for more
than five
seconds.
Never heard this before and it's quite worrying. I've just told her to
let
it completely discharge.
Thanks in advance for any help regarding this.
