Don,
Thank you for the information. To answer your question yes it does help to
reboot. However, rebooting frequently defeats the purpose of buying the full
version in my opinion.

I am not sure your diagnosis is correct. It is easy to blame a feature in
which you are not familiar. Quick Keys are very productive and have been
copied by most screen readers. At some point you should give them a
chance.
In Word, it niormally requires Control + N to open a new document and
JAWSKey (CapsLock for a laptop keyboard layout or Insert for a desktop
layout) + D to open the Dictionary Manager. Perhaps you have more thabn
one key on your keyboard sticking? Does it help to reboot the computer?
JAWS does not like to perform a repair from different updates downloaded
from the web. It works fine if you installed from the CD and never updated
from the web. But who ever does that? There are ways to force the
repair. I can not remember the details. I just uninstall the damaged
version and install again. You may need another version of JAWS installed
or use another screen reader to do this with speech.
Quick Keys can be turned off for the session in Internet Explorer by
pressing JAWSKey )CapsLock for a laptop keyboard, Insert for a desktop
layout) + N or in the "Adjust JAWS Verbosity" by pressing JAWSKey + V,
hitting the letter n until you hear "Navigation Keys"and hit Space until
you hear "off", then Enter.
Navigation Keys can also be turned off temporarily in Word by pressing
JAWSKey + Z or through the "Adjust JAWS Verbosity" by pressing JAWSKey +
V, hitting the letter E until you hear "Easy Navigation Keys"and hit Space
until you hear "off", then Enter.
To turn these off permanantly, open the Configuration Manager by pressing
JAWSKey + 6 in the numbers row, then press Control + Shift + D. Press
Alt + S to open the "Settings" menu and press K to open the "Keyboard
Options" dialog. The first set of radio buttons controls the Quick Keys
navigation feature. Arrow down to "off" and hit Enter. Save the settings
in Configuration Manager by pressing Control + S, then close with Alt +
F4.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] QUICK KEYS
All JAWS users,
My previous email may have been linked with the email I had sent a while
back regarding the pressing of a letter in a word document such as the
letter "N" would bring up a new document and the letter "D" would bring
up the JAWS dictionary. This is very annoying since many words contain
the letter "N" and the letter "D". My email earlier today was regarding
quick keys being turned off while on the internet. I am finding that
quick keys which I believe is the culprit to all my JAWS problems is
being very problematic for me. The response I received a while back was
to run a JAWS repair and see if that fixes the problem. Now my issue with
running a JAWS repair is where to go on the freedom scientific website to
accomplish the repair. I went to the JAWS 10 32 bit download and selected
run from the run or save menu. Then it got to the setup wizard and I
selected next. Each window I have checked for the repair option with no
luck. I eventually got to a point where it said it could not be installed
because it already exist. Please any help on this issue would be greatly
appreciated and please be very detailed in the instruction since I am
still fairly new to JAWS
My equipment: Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop with XP (OS) running JAWS 10
