Rick,

Do you possibly have two versions of JAWS both set to start automatically? That 
might jam things up.

Also on my system I know that the logon screen comes up at least 30 seconds 
before JAWS starts talking, as observed by sighted peers.

Check your verbosity settings in the default configuration and make sure that 
you have the echo set to highlighted.

And to clarify, are you saying that JAWS does not speak automatically on its 
own, or that even if you press Insert+  8 you still hear nothing?

  My JAWS 12 with latest update, under the Basic Options is set to start 
talking at startup.  The checkbox IS checked.

  Yet when I shut down my system, and power back up, there is a blue screen 
with the primary user, the place for a guest to log on and it does NOT speak.
  This is Windows 7 Home Premium system.  

  If I muffed up something, I sure cannot think where to pursue fixing it.

  Thanks for any suggestions.

  Rik
