[JAWSLite] Re: JAWS 8.0, 9.0, and 7.0 not launching.

I recommend you call tech support directly as I'm still having problems with 
the whole jaws/xp/narrator on my old laptop.
In fact, when I go to the run dialog and type narrator, jaws comes up instead 
of narrator, but I can't get the tech to believe me that I was actually on the 
run dialog. It has to be because I bring up the start menu (hear the start menu 
popup sound) then type r (hear the menu command sound) then type "narrator" 
followed by enter.  Jaws comes up, partially.  Now I tried rebooting but  my 
machine appears to be fried -- jaws comes up but no windows login screen, no 
way to get a login prompt (even with control+alt+delete), and no way to shut 
down jaws.
I'm waiting for sighted assistance to call them back and they say it is going 
to take at least an hour and a half on the phone with them with sighted 
assistance to get this untangled.
I am sure it must be malware.  It started after installing windows live 
messenger and trying to fix thedisplay chain.
Groan, grumble, banging desk with my head...
Fortunately I have another laptop with jaws 9 and no IM clients.
I hope your problem isn't as involved as mine.
Good luck and happy new year.

  Hi,
  I am running Windows XP, and have been using JAWS 8.0 fine and normal as 
usual, until now. I got up this morning, jfw 8, or 9 wouldn't launch. Narrator 
wouldn't iether (odd?)... I tried the portable version of 7.0, nothing. I am 
about to try a Window Eyes demo. The only screen reader that works, is NVDA 
(Nonvisual Desktop Access)! I have seen some very strange behavior from MS 
narrator on the other hand. I will launch narrator with the keystroke 
windows+u. I look at the utilitie manager, and see that narrator is running, 
but it really isn't! That narrator, running message changes in about 5 seconds 
after the launching of utilitity manager though. It says it isn't launching.

  I have called freedom Scientific, and the problem has already reached 
escolation... My system restore somehow got turned off, and now is working but 
has no previous backups[restore points]. Any idea JAWS Lite listers? This is a 
serious issue, and it would be great if one of you JAWS users could offer a 
helping hand in the matter.
