Re: How does one kill Jaws?

That happens to me as well on this laptop. I may be working on a number of things both at the job and at home and closing everything down and bringing it back just to satisfy Jaws is an inconvenience. I too would prefer not to have to do that, my sighted competition don't have that added wrinkle.

What ever happens to Jaws, simply unloading and reloading it may work momentarily, sometimes for a while, sometimes only minutes and not always reliably as you switch through various windows and applications, suddenly it quits recognizing list boxes or even menus. It can be really frustrating when you depend on this technology and it turns out to be undependable.

If you believe Jaws becomes exhausted in some way from running too long, why
not turn off your computer from time to time,or at least exit and relaunch
Jaws on your own recognizance now and then? Would that help? Or is there
something about your work that requires you to never turn off your computer?

Thanks.

MessageHi Jim,

I am having a problem where I do a INS F4 to unload JAWS because its gotten
upset usually after a day or two of running. Then the system gets ticked
off. I do the run thing and no JAWS. I do a Windows Key U to get narrator
up then save everything and reboot since JAWS simply refuses to reload for
me.

Thats why I was asking about killing JAWS so I could reload it, not sure if
this is the other guys problem or not.

 hi no need to create a hot key when jaws crashes just hit windows r
 then type jaws 7.
 press enter this will restart jaws.
 or you can go to your jaws program group and right click on the jaws
shortcut.
 in this context menu select properties.
 in this dialog tab over to short cut key.
 press the letter j and press enter.
 now your short cut for this will be control alt j.

   Subject: How does one kill Jaws?


   Hiya list,

Awhile ago someone wrote in that he has created an icon on desktop with
a hotkey command to use when Jaws crashes and I wrote asking what steps do I
need to do to create this hotkey and command. Since I've installed Jaws 7 I
get on average a crash every 2 to 3 days and am stuck if I have important
stuff loaded up that I cant hear anymore to save as the only way to get Jaws
back from there is too reboot hence loosing what info I have loaded.

   Please can anyone help me to create this kill Jaws hotkey?

   thanks,

   Jim from Oz

   P.S bring on the update for Jaws 7 hopefully we get it soon:)
