Hi Anna, I think you will need someone sighted to help you. It sounds like there is a message on the screen that you will need to have read to you. In order for anyone to help we will need to know what this message is reporting. If you can get someone to write it down or if you can record the message while they're reading it then, type the message into an email & send it to the list, it would help immensely. It sounds like the computer is booting into safe mode because something needs to be addressed & Jaws won't work in safe mode. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.

Open the Control Panel & find Power Options & press enter to open. 2. When power Options opens you will be on the first tab of the power schemes tab. Home / Office Desk should be selected here. 3. Tab 3 times to your monitor settings combobox, I have mine on 10 minutes just in case the monitor is turned on & someone forgets to turn it off, it will turn off after 10 minutes. Tab 1 time to the hard disks combobox, I have mine set on, never. Tab 1 time to the stand by combobox, I have mine set on, never. 4. Tab to the apply button & press the spacebar. Now control + tab 2 times to the, Hibernate tab. 5. You should be on the, Enable Hibernation checkbox, if this box is checked, uncheck it with the spacebar. 6. Tab to apply, press the spacebar, tab to okay , press the spacebar or enter to save your changes & close. The steps above are the way my computers are set-up & these are my preferences. I'm not saying that you should set your computer up this way, I'm just giving an example. I don't want the computer doing anything unless I give the commands to do so. Hope this helps. Take care.
