Thanks Andy. My Network Administrator confirmed what you appear to already know. he said there is absolutely no way for anybody to set JFW up so that it runs on start up. This greatly saddens me, but with a bit of luck/patience I will learn to live with it. (smile) yes, you are definitely right about my not being able to leave the system on all the time. (smile) Oh well it's time to put that issue behind me and now cross my fingers that they can figure out how to set things up so I can access the help files in JFW. It's one of those things you take for granted until you don't have it. (smile) Katrina

I think that the fact that JAWS is running on the network is the problem. If JAWS is running on the network, you won't be able to access it until you have accessed the network. The only thing that you can do other than installing JAWS locally on your machine would be to just stay logged in at all times, which will, of course, bring forth the wrath of your network admin.

I have recently started using a new computer on a new network at work. I'm not sure what the network is, but the OS is Windows XP Pro. The system is running a network version of JFW 7.1 and IE 6. Seems every day I encounter another problem. The thing that bothers me the most is that I can not set JFW up to run on start up. I'm not even given that option under the JFW Basic Settings. Perhaps the Network Administrator could access this setting...I'll definitely ask. However, the Network Administrator tells me that FS reports there is no remedy to the problem. Approximately 6-10 employees use JFW on this network, and only two of them can set JFW to run on start up. My understanding is this is because they have JFW running from a dongle (sp?) rather than from the "Jaws Network." Another issue that bothers me is that I am not able to access "Help" in the JFW application. The Network Administrator is supposed to be contacting FS about this so hopefully they can figure it out. Any thoughts or suggestions about using JFW on a network would be appreciated.

I think that creates the service. When I was doing an internship, they said JFW wouldn't speak the login prompt, but it actually did, and that was a Novell one instead of the usual one that ships with Windows. ----- Original Message ----- From: jason <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> smith To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2007 12:34 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws reading log-in screens Hi list, I think this issue was mentioned on the list before, but forgot the information on it. At work, They use a log-in screen to get into the system. Jaws doesn't read this screen. I therefore have a not so fun time trying to log in. I think I remember someone else on the list having a similar issue. If I remember correctly, I think the solution was having Jaws run as a service. Or was it the other way round i.e have Jaws run as an application? Am I on the right track? If so, how do you choose how Jaws runs? If I am wrong, is there a solution to my problem? I will be using Jaws Pro 8.0 at work, on a desktop running Windows XP Pro.
