Thank you.  Yes, that was exactly the problem.

Hi Marla,
Check and possibly change the default sound card selected in the Sounds and 
Audio Devices section of the Control Panel.  In Tools > Options in Skype, make
sure Skype is not allowed to change your audio settings.

  Subject: Skype and JAWS

  A sighted family member installed Skype on our computer.  Now, JAWS  starts 
up properly when the computer powers up or when fully rebooted, but if JAWS
is turned off while the computer is running, everything freezes when we try to 
restart JAWS , and the computer must be rebooted  to get JAWS back.  
Insert+windows
key+F4 does not help.  We have also noticed that other computer sound effects, 
not related to JAWS, are also now inactivated.  Has anyone else experienced
this?  It is possible that the problem is not related to Skype, but the timing 
of onset seems to coincide with the Skype installation.
