The symptom of pressing the windows key causing an ellegal opperation is conflict related in that it seems that there is some corruption. Someone suggested that you update to 4.51 or better but I'm not sure that it would fix the issue. Try uninstalling jaws, removing all signs of it from the registry, and reinstalling jaws. If this doesn't work, and along with this, make sure that your system has been scann disked and defragged, what anti virus software do you use? you may have to repair windows. Believe it or not, a number of things that seem jaws related are often only tangentially related to jaws in that jaws is in use when they happen. Yor 512 mb of ram should be plenty unless you have a bunch of things that run at start up and are squeezing out the resources. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Badih Zeinoun" <badihz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2004 12:23 PM Subject: Re: Problem with jaws 4.50 whenever my system is started.

I enabled the run jaws first so it is the only screen-reader starts when my system is launched but when that problem happens after each launch I unload jaws then reload it so the programme returns working as it should.
