[JAWSLite] Re: Jaws Application or Service

hi,

for you as a user, there is not much difference whether you have jaws 
running asan application or as a service. there are certainsituations 
in which one or the other is to be preferred, though.

When you check the "run jaws first" option, you are actually running 
jaws as a service. This means that jaws will start before windows has 
fully loaded and you will have speech at the log-on prompt and if you 
need to see mesages early in the boot process. this is useful in a 
multi-user enviroment when each user needs to enter their user name 
and password to log into widnows. this is also useful when you are 
working with a lot of hardware installs and might need to trouble 
shoot for error messages that come up as windows loads.

On the other hand, especially with some versions of jaws, jaws did 
not read some things when run as a service.

when you start jaws from a desktop shortcut, unless you create one 
for the jaws service, jaws is run as an aplication.
