I would say that the thumb drive aproach may not be the right one here and a simpler solution may be at hand. There is a special thunb drive version of Jaws you need to install on your thumb drive and for machines that have not had Jaws on installed you will need the video interceptor installer package as well on the same thumb drive. Go to www.freedomscientific.com. When you insert Jaws thumb into a PC it does not start automatically when the drive is inserted. You have to wait about 10 seconds and then press enter whcih will then start Jaws. If Jaws is already installed/authorised on the family computer then the best option is to follow steps below (once) to set up a shortcut for Jaws (control+alt+J) so you can start Jaws independantly if it does not start automatically. Some situations may require that you unload Jaws from memory and then need to restart Jaws. The easiest way to do this is using a shortcut key to attach to the start icon for the software. Below are the instructions for doing this. There are two ways for you to create a shortcut for Jaws, the first is on the desktop and the second on the start menu. If you find that the keystroke you have assigned does not work on the desktop then you should delete the desktop icon (for ease at least) and then us the second set of steps to create it within the start menu group icon for Jaws. One of these methods usually works. 1 Press windows+M to move to "desktop". 2 Press letter J until you reach the Jaws icon on the desktop that starts your version of Jaws. 3 Press alt+enter to open the icon properties for Jaws. 4 Then tab twice to the "shortcut key" edit field and type letter J into it. 5 Tab to "OK" button and press spacebar on it. 6 Before closing Jaws press windows+m to go back to desktop and ten press control+alt+J. If after a short perdio hear "Jaws" and the Jaws window has popped up this means you shortcut will work for you when you try it for real. Alternative method for setting hotkey for Jaws where desktop shortcut does not appear to work 1 First delete the icon for your shortcut you set up previously or press alt+enter and make sure in the "shortcut key" edit field that Jaws is no longer assigned to control+alt+J. 2 Open start menu and press letter P for "programs", then press J for Jaws. 3 Press shift+f10 for context menu and up arrow until you get to "properties" then press enter. 4 Then tab twice to the "shortcut key" edit field and type letter J into it. 5 Tab to "OK" button and press spacebar on it. Notes: You can remove Jaws from memory by pressing insert+F4 and press enter on the "OK" button. Then you will be able to use your newley setup shortcut key to riase Jaws again. Regards.

Good Morning All, Can any one help me, I have just received my upgrade to jaws 7 and wanted to put a copy of it on a thumb drive so that rather than having to start jaws each time I want to use the family computer I don't have to go thru the rigmarole of remembering what to press I can just plug the thumb drive in and quickly gain access to the computer. If any one can help me I would be most grateful. Many thanks in advance.
