Joan,
You should really leave the electric soup alone first thing in the morning ya
know. Or at least, put a little more water in it! *smile*
Cheers, Robin.

Odd though, Robin.
I changed the hot key to none, though maybe I should have given it a key.
I took out the launch at start on 5.1 but, on going to 6.0, I found it had
unchecked to launch at start so I checked it. I went back to the 5.1 and found
that it had now checked.
Really weird. Apart from that, when I found the 6.0 iconon the desktop, I
went into Jaws and went to "About Jaws" and it told me it was 5.1.
So I thought it best to get rid of the previous version though I kept a
back-up copy.
As I say, it looks as if 5.1 took 6.0 over.
Ah well, not to worry. It works!
Best wishes,
Joan.

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.
