Hi Peter, I use Esset Smart Security, and I don't get that problem. Best regards, Norman O. ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Bentley To: JAWS Group Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 1:08 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] Esset Smart Security Using JAWS 9 latest. Since upgrading from NOD32 to the Smart Security package (Esset Smart Security), I find that more often than not JAWS does not load automatically on computer start-up as previously. I have checked that the Options,basics JAWS Start Automatically option is checked. I have posted this to both the Acces Technology and JAWS lists since I am not sure where the problem is. Any suggestions appreciated. Peter Bentley
