I switched user and shut the computer after unlocking my account and kept my fingers and toes crossed. The laptop shut down properly and when restarted got me Jaws at the log on screen as usual. Now all is well. You bet I'll remember how precious narrator is when I get in a jam! By the way, the utility seems a lot better than in up, was very pleasantly surprised. Well done Microsoft! And, thanks lot Martin Hope I can return the favour some day. Cheers now, Marie. ----- Original Message ----- From: martin wilsher <mailto:m.wilsher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, October 17, 2009 12:16 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Improper shutdown on laptop running Vista the password promt should be easy to find with narrator. _____ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Marie Baisez Sent: 17 October 2009 11:08 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Improper shutdown on laptop running Vista didn't know that narrator could come on that early in the game, will have a go, don't know where the password prompt is!

Now, Windows won't start. Apparently, from what appears on the screen, my account is locked. I press alt+ctrl+delete to unlock but Jaws doesn't start talking at the log on screen as it should. I have nobody around at the moment with enough useful sight to tell me what's on the screen. I presume I should log off or shut down but do not know the shortcut keys in Vista to achieve this. Can anyone help? Please, please someone get me out of this fix! I hate getting frustrated by something as simple as an inaccessible screen! Thanks to all in advance.
