Re: [JAWS-Users] AUTOMATICALLY START JAWS
Hi, Thanks for your response. When I went to the JAWS menu, I checked the voices submenu and found that the voices submenu was disabled. With some patience and a great deal of frustration, I somehow got narrator up and running because NVDA, too had decided to shut down. I downloaded JAWS and now I'm trying to configure my computer only to be told that I'm not authorized to perform that action. I know it has something to do with administrative tools. Can you or someone out there give me a brief outline so I won't encounter this each time? Thanks. - Original Message - From: David davidwhitehead1...@cogeco.ca To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 11:15 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] AUTOMATICALLY START JAWS Hello there; 1, go into, jaws options/basics, 2, tab and enter on, automatically start jaws now, you need to have, start jaws at the log in screen checked, start jaws after log in screen for all users checked, start jaws after log in for this user, make sure that always is highlighted, you should hear, start jaws after log in for this user, always, 1of3. now tab okay, press enter. - Original Message - From: Jo Luland jolul...@verizon.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 11:05 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] AUTOMATICALLY START JAWS Hi All, For some time now, I've been having a problem with JAWS and windows 7.

Re: [JAWS-Users] AUTOMATICALLY START JAWS
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.

Re: [JAWS-Users] AUTOMATICALLY START JAWS
Hi All, Well, here I am again. Because I have JAWS talking, I tried to get the update for JAWS12. When I went through the menu, I got an error message indicating that the update couldn't be installed. There might be some corrupted files in my downloaded version. I was directed to do a repair of JAWS and try again. Since I have no dvd to do this with, I went to Freedom Scientific website to complete the process. Now, when I reach the website, only Freedom Scientific products for the Visually Impaired Windows Internet Explorer is read. When I press ins+page down, it says http//www.freedomscientific.com/fs internet protected mod on 105%. Can anyone clarify the meaning of this? I feel like I'm on a merry-go-round with this situation!! Please help before I throw this computer out the window!!! Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] AUTOMATICALLY START JAWS
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.

Re: [JAWS-Users] AUTOMATICALLY START JAWS
I would suggest a hot key for Jaws. That way you can use insert f4 enter to shut Jaws down and restart.
