Just a bit more details just in case you guys can offer solutions: Jaws does become unauthorized, and only a reauthorization would work. Jaws goes into 40 min mode, and the serial is switched to 801, which means no CT/sonar/HSC access. It started happening out of the blue, for no apparent reason. It's as if he made hardware changes, but he hasn't. CMOS/bios is good, date and time are set properly etc. Last time I saw this was when using FW1884 in the prejaws 11 days, and once when using hypersonic, syncrosoft threw jaws for a loop, guess it thought syncro was its own dongle. But Josh is not using any dongles, and no hardware changes have been made. The only other thing I can say is JAWS14. I've had my share of issues with jaws 14, so I kept 13 until 15 came out. I'm talking about issues like video intercept/mirror display drivers not being properly installed due to invalid/out of date signatures, jaws not properly initializing scripts, and I had to help 2 memebers of the list with an even stranger issue, JAWS appeared to have corrupted it's own file i/o system, where it kept giving out errors every time a script was loaded, and nothing would load. It kept giving file i/o errors. We downgraded to 13 at the time, and problems were gone. There were also a few rare HSC bugs at the time as well. All those problems were enough to keep me away!

I've had that message come out before and I waited to see if it would really shut down JAWS after the 40 minutes and it didn't. So if that message ever comes out again I don't worry about it. Maybe you should wait and see if it really shuts off Jaws. On 2/18/15, Chris Smart <csmart8@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > hmm. > > Just tossing this out there.
