Any possibility you have a screen saver that starts up? Other

*Subject:* JAWS losing focus
I just put in a new hard drive and installed JAWS 11. If I step
away from my computer for a short time and leave the focus on JAWS
or any other program, when I come back I find that the focus has
changed to a blank screen and I have to alt-tab back to the screen
I was working on or want to get to. Any idea what might be causing
this? I'm not even sure if it's a JAWS-related problem or not, but
I never encountered this using lower versions of the program.
PS: Thanks to those of you who have helped answer some of my other
inane questions I posted during the past week. Although I can't
write to you individually, your replies to my questions are
sincerely appreciated and I think you for your time.
A few thoughts which may be helpful:
1. If you use Jaws 11 on without working with the system, linkage seems
to cause difficulty including focus. Suggestion: Turn jaws off when
leaving the system running for more than a half hour. Use hotkey to
restart Jaws back on when you return
2. Windows 7 seems to leave a number of windows open much of the time.
Jaws doesn't report this situation. Lots of open windows at a time, can
bring on confusion of focus When you try to work.
