[jaws-uk] Re: Strange Thing Happened

Hi Joan,

Like you, I always keep the previous version of jfw alive on my pc.

Here's what I do when I install a new version, in this case, 6.0.

Once installed, I went to the jaws 5.1 icon on the desktop, opened the 
properties and changed the hot key to control Alt L, then I went to the jaws 6 
icon, and made that one Control Alt J. You also have to remember to launch 5.1, 
open the basics menu and uncheck the bit that says, load jaws at startup, or I 
suspect, this is what has happened with you, the older version will still come 
up first on boot up. 

Cheers, Robin.

  Hi, Folks,

  First of all, Robin, thanks for your comments on tutorials.

  I downloaded version 6 and merged settings etc. Found it fine.

  Next time I booted up the computer I wondered why I wasn't being told the 
rate of download which I had found with the new version. On checking out the 
versions, I found that both claimed to be 5.1 whatever it is and this was 
obviously being run. I therefore uninstalled the older version and everything 
is back as it should be.

  I have never come across this type of problem when keeping two versions of 
Jaws. Why should this be?

  It almost looked as if 6.0 was deferring to the earlier version.

  Best wishes,

  Joan.
