Hi Dave,
Are you sure this is something Curtis doesn't know? I mean, that he simply
doesn't know this basic thing of how to set Jaws to come up speaking? I
thought Curtis was saying he was familiar with the normal stuff, like this,
and that for some reason it was not working! At least that's what I derived
from his earlier message. He's a pretty experienced computer person with
many such things, whom I've seen on other lists, and I didn't get the
impression that Open Book was simply new to him and he didn't know how to
make the basic settings.
Maybe I'm wrong and he's a total Open Book newbie? But you're not the only
person who has offered him this basic Open Book setup advice. So I'll be
curious to see if that's all he needed. I didn't think so. I thought
something was actually malfunctioning, and that's what he was trying to
diagnose. I may be wrong, of course.

Hello Curtis:
Once you are at the Desktop, start jaws.
If you still have the "JAWS" icon highlighted, press ENTER. or use the JAWS
key combination JAWS KEY+J. This will open the JAWS application window.
The first item is the "Options" submenu, which is already highlighted.
Press the RIGHT ARROW key or ENTER to open this submenu.
The first item in this submenu is "Basics...", which is highlighted.
Press ENTER to open this menu item.
Now, Press the TAB key until you hear JAWS say "Automatically Start JAWS".
If the check box is unchecked, Press the SPACE BAR to check it.
Then press ENTER to close the "Options" menu item.
If you set up JAWS to start in the "Start" menu under programs, you will
need to delete the JAWS icon that is in there. Otherwise, Windows will
attempt to start JAWS a second time, which can cause a lot of problems.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber

My wife has a new computer, an AMD dual core 2.3Ghz with 2 gigs of ram.
Jfw will not come up talking, no matter the start up setting. I
re-installed, (looking for repair which did not exist for some reason), even
running the downloaded installation without that option shown to me, so
un-installed, and re-installed, keeping her settings for apps, etc. Still,
the program, though it's loaded, will not come up talking. It is using the
standard Eloquence that comes with it by default, so, any more ideas? If I
am told how, I will set it up to run as a service, but need to know how to
do that.
