Hi Christine,
 
Insert-F4 will close JAWS from anywhere.  You don't have to alt-tab to JAWS
to close it.
 
All the best

insert f4?  I've been using alt f4 and because jaws by then isn't speaking
to me I don't exactly know what I'm pressing enter on, often it doesn't work
and I have to alt tab back to hear "Jaws" then do the alt f4 thing again,
and sometimes again and again, often resulting in the computer shutting down
altogether!  If I should be using insert f4 I'll try that one then.  Thanks
for the tip, Christine.

Hi Christine,
 
Why is it not easy to close down JAWS?  Insert-F4 is your friend.
 
All the best

Hi all, I swaped laptops with my son a month ago, he reformatted it first,
installed the windows xp home then jaws 6.0
The spec on here is better than the other but its the same version of jaws.
When I turn on the computer I hear the usual musical sounds, press the
windows key and get, start, start menue, I arrow down to email and off I go.
all is well until I decide to do something else, follow a link to a website,
when I come off the website and decide to go to my music I press the windows
key, it only says Start and won't read anything else to me, I can't find my
way back to outlook express nor explorer, I can't do anything because my
jaws won't read anything until I shut down jaws, press the windows key and J
to restart jaws, its ok again then until I change programms which is making
me very reluctant to do anything much on my computer now, any ideas please
what I can do to rectify this problem? Its driving me Crazy, as its not
always easy to select to close jaws and often the whole computer shuts-down
on me!
 
Thanks for any help.  Happy new year to everyone, from Christine W.
