Is it running vista though?  as I said, the tech seemed to indicate this
was a vista only problem, but didn't realize until I explained it to
him, that with vista the devices actualy disappear from your device list
when made inactive.

        I am surprised to hear this as I have a Lenovo X61 laptop and I
turn the blue tooth and other radios on and off all the time and have
never been asked to reactivate my JAWS.

        just an fyi that I found the hard way, 

         

        if it's possible for you to deactivate hardware temporarily, say
turning off a wifi card, this will also trigger jaws to think you've got
a different pc.  this seems to be a problem mostly for laptop users with
vista, as it appears hardware which is turned off under vista actually
disappears from the device list because it's driver is unloaded.

         

        since I have a wifi card, a bluetooth card, and a hard wired
ethernet option, jaws required me to activate *eight* different times to
cover all the possibilities of hardware configurations!!! :(  since fs
will only give you 3 activations at a time, this took weeks to resolve.

         

        this is unacceptible to me as who knows where you might be when
some hardware change happens to your pc; you may be away from the
internet, or out of activations at the fs web site.

                Hi!

                 

                A computer guy came to my house yesterday and put in a
DVD drive in for me, and may have reactivated my printer.  Now, when I
boot up, Jaws prompts me with "activation".  How do I get that to stop?

                 

                Thanks!

                 

                Come inside where...Is it hot or cool?
