Hi, Recently I had a hard disk crash on my windows xp machine. I had the hard disk replaced, and the old one put back in as a slave, but the pc is booting from the new one. I had everything re-installed, and installed jaws with no problem. However, ever since, i cannot get jaws to start automatically when the pc boots up. 1. I ensured that the checkbox was checked to have jaws speak automatically once the pc starts. 2. I did a repair and a modify of the instillation but no joy. 3. I checked to see that my xp account was set up as an administrater, and I changed this to ensure it was. 4. I decided to do a complete re-install of jaws, i also removed the old freedom scientific folder from the program files on my c drive, before re-installing jaws. Once again, I ensured that start jaws automatically was ticked, but still no joy. Any ideas as to what could be preventing jaws from starting automatically? I am using jaws version ten, with windows xp service pack 3. Cheers, Brian. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Find the home of your dreams with eircom net property Sign up for email alerts now http://www.eircom.net/propertyalerts -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: 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.
