HI John; Being that you just installed NVDA, Insert + Q, shuts it down but, you need to use the Insert key that is in the 6 pack, & not the the Insert key that is in the number pad. The Insert key in the number pad has to be setup in the NVDA keyboard settings before it can be used as a modifier. Hope this helps. Take care.

Insert + Q turns off NVDA.

Regarding the Jaws update problem with my 64 bit system, As suggested, the only way to resolve the problem I had was to remove Jaws entirely and then download a completely new version. But as I asked before, how can that be done when the only screen reader you use is Jaws. Well, I went out and downloaded NVDA, then tried to get a copy of Jaws from the Freedom list. I have never used NVDA before but I did manage to get the copy and re-install it on my system. But I had no way of knowing how to turn off NVDA so that was an interesting time with both systems talking simultaneously. As an emergency alternative, NVDA isn't bad. There are some things about it that are quite useful, especially the tone which goes up in steps and keeps you informed as to how far the progress bar has gone. But that voice! Good Heavens! Nothing like moving around the internet with Sir Barrel Tone talking to you in a voice that sounds as if he's really angry but has to help you anyway. I'm sure there must be other voices out there. Well, at least my Jaws is now up to date and after the re-start, Sir Barrel Tone did not reappear. Does anyone know how to turn that thing on and off?
