My kid's computer, which is now running Windows 7, had a simillar issue with
coming out of sleep. A week or so after upgrading from Vista to Windows 7,
Windows Update decided there was a better video driver available and
performed an automatic update. With the new generic driver, it would switch
to a screen resolution that the hardware did not support! I had to retreive
the best available video driver for that model on the Dell website and
install it. Additionally, I needed to hide that suggestion to update the
driver again in Windows Update.
Point is perhaps installing a better video driver will do the trick. Don

substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working
on things that matter.

Hi All, Thanks for all your suggestions. Well, I tried power options and
FS also checked to see that they were set to "never". I'm not sure this is
a JAWS issue, though, but when I leave the computer for awhile, it just
stays where it is. Yesterday, A friend came to see if she could help. When
she tried to use the mouse, it, too, didn't work. We had to turn it off in
order for her to use the mouse. Today, I did what FS suggested, leave
narrator running to see if it was still there. It wasn't. Neither was
NVDA. When this happens the screen is dark, but my friend could see that
the computer was on. This is a brand new computer with Windows 7 and I
don't have any idea what I can do next. I'll give FS another try to see if
anyone can come up with a solution or a suggestion. I'm wondering if it's
a Windows issue. Again, thanks to all who responded.

Joe,
When you leave the computer, is your computer going to sleep? if that's
the case, when you come back to the computer, jaws wouldn't speak unless
you woke your computer up. Go into power management, and set your
computer the way you want, so that it doesn't go to sleek. For me, I set
that to never, so my computer doesn't go to sleep or shut down, until I
tell it too. Just a thought. Jim

Hi All, For some time now, I've been having a problem with JAWS and
windows 7. JAWS would be fine for a time, but for no reason, would no
longer speak. Whenever I left the computer for a while, I would get no
speech no matter what I did; so I just turned off the computer. FS
worked with me, but after three tries, it still remains the same. I
uninstalled JAWS and then reinstalled it again. Now, I can't get it to
come up no matter what I do. I installed NVDA which is somewhat helpful,
but because I'm not too familiar with that program, I'm not getting
anywhere. What is the correct setting for AUTOMATICALLY START JAWS? I've
tried all combinations with the buttons, but no luck so far. Any help
will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Jo
