Hi all, I have jaws 7 and it has never put you on the desktop automatically you will always need to hold down the windows key and press the letter m. As for jaws 8 I have installed a demo of it and it works like a dream, if you are having problems with it starting then make sure you have the check box marked so that it is instructed to start automatically. Let's all not be two hasty to complain about it and make sure you have followed the steps correctly as I know from experience if a product doesn't do watt it says on the tin it is 95% human error, as the developers have gone through it with a fine toothed comb.
