hi, i think the answer is no. i have jaws 8.0 set to start autometicly + i also set the keystroke to ctrl+alt+j. both work like a dream. previously i'm using jaws 7.10 and i now change the key asignment to ctrl+alt+7. this one also work without any trouble. i must say, i set both keystroke jaws 7.10 and 8.0 thru the start menu and not on the jaws icon on the desktop. i've deleted the jaws icons found on the desktop.
