some times, restarting jaws clears this up. AS for the I can'ts, you can do anything you want on your computer without the start menu, it's just a bit tricky. What os are you running?

I am unable to get to the start menu. When I hit the Windows key, it takes me to the start button, not the start menu. I have tried tabbing and I have tried enter, but nothing is working. So I can't shut down the computer, and I can't get into most of my programs. Any ideas how to handle this? Thanks much, TerriLynne -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
