No Judi, it's not your fault, smile. Often times when someone helps set up a
computer they go ahead and place Jaws on the start menu without really
explaining what it is they did.
So windows key plus the letter J does work to start Jaws.
Now do you still have jaws on your start menu? Because if you do we can
just change the target path to point to jaws 7.0 and not 5.0 anymore.

I guess its so frustrating that I'm grasping at straws. It must have been
ages ago when someone taught me that if I wanted to invoke the jaws hot key
I should press the windows key and then the letter J. Like I said, I was
grasping at straws. Judi
