The toggle is JAWS key, space bar, s. You might contact Microsoft Accessibility at at 800-936-5900. Perhaps with their help you could enable Microsoft Navigator. Do you have a back up screen reader like NVDA or SATOGO? If all fails and you can't get JAWS enabled/functioning call FS tech support tomorrow. I wish I had a more direct way.
