Of course I can't find it, but I rememeber a knowledge base article about
why logging off and switching users messes up Jaws. I really do think FS
has changed something, because I used to be able to find everything I had
read about in the knowledge base on the FS site, but not now.
Sorry! Enough of my whining.
I have heard of people using narrator at the log in screen after switching
users.
There is a way to have jaws only run for only one user, but I really don't
think that would help because run jaws first for it to read the log in
screen is as you start your computer, not switch users.
Anyway, if anyone is interested, here is how you only use jaws on one user.
Haven't done it, but FS says it can be done, smile.

He just turns it off when he gets on as he doesn't need it. When he goes to
switch user, shouldn't it come on again? How do I get it to turn on? There
is no screen saver on and I have the monitor turned off when I use the
computer.

to the best of my knowledge you can either have JAWS on or off, but can't
have JAWS running on two accounts (in regards to the log on screen). as in,
you could have JAWS running if this other user didn't mind having it
running, but if they did you're messed. the log on screen is pretty
self-explanatory though... when you log on you're always in the username
box, and then all you'd have to do is type in your username, tab for
password type it in, and then hit enter and you should be in. if you put
JAWS in your start-up when you log in it will start up automatically. does
this make sense?

Hi, Everyone,

I am having a problem with speech on the login screen. There are 2
users and we each have a password. I am the only one using Jaws as he turns
it off when logged on. When we go to the login screen to switch members, if
I want to get on, there is no speech whatsoever and I have no way to tell
where I am. Even when you use the keystroke to bring it back, it won't
work. I have to have someone place the cursor on my password and then type
it in. Then I have to turn Jaws on again. Is this supposed to be this way
or can it be changed?


   I have a Dell Demension310 and Windows XP Home Edition with Jaws 6.0.

   Thank you for anything you can come up with to solve this problem.

   Katherine
