I both have Jaws starting automatically and I also have a hot key--control alt 9. My wife often uses the computer without speech so I use this hot key combo very frequently. Likewise, when I boot the computer from the off position, Jaws 9 always starts automatically as I have checked that feature. Note: I also have a hot key combo for 2 other versions of Jaws--Versions 8 and 5.1. I recently deleted 2 other versions of Jaws I had running so have 3 options presently and use each for my own personal reasons. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Morey Worthington" <mossback7569@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "JFW" <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, December 08, 2007 7:25 AM Subject: Think I found answer to Jaws hot key issue Hello all, I think I have found out why Jaws , either version 8 or 9 will not hold a hot key to be used later. First I went into Jaws 9 basic settings and checked to have Jaws start automatically. Then I went to have a hot key to start Jaws and tried to set it. It would not take. Then I went back and unchecked to have start Jaws automatically. Then I went back and installed a hot key and it accepted it. Hence...A person cannot have both automatic start, and have a hot key assigned to a Jaws version. Would one of you computer guru's confirm my findings, or not, so that maybe we can give this one a solution??(or not) Thanks, Morey Worthington -- 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.
