Half an hour before it locks is good, mine is only five minutes and nothing I can do about it.

I always use the Windows+l keystroke to lock my computer when I'm away. Then I use the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keystroke to bring up the account password entry dialog, and JAWS is speaking.

Our administrator has the computers going to sleep after 30 minutes of nonuse. I just have to, by faith, type in my password, and we're good to go again, but it took a colleague with some vision to confirm what I needed to do. Otherwise, I was mistaking that for a Jaws lockup, and, in fact, Jaws should recognize when the computer wakes up. Had this problem both in Jaws 11 and 12 with Windows 7. I have Jaws 10 on my laptop and two other computers at home running Vista, but I'm not likely to purchase Jaws 12 personally at this point.

For , no reason! It will happen just by doing something as simple as clicking on something on the desktop. When I invoke the Jaws key, windows key, + F4 keystroke, then when I try to restart any version of Jaws with its respective hotkey, no version of Jaws will load. I have to do a hard shutdown & reboot before I get Jaws back again. I had this happen while I had Freedom Scientific on the phone for a different reason and they couldn't figure out / explain why it would do this either. I thought, at first, that I would be very happy with J12 but, it seems to be doing the same old crap the J11 did! Losing focus & just quit working while attempting the simplest of tasks'. I have written them & spoken with them, to no avail. Hopefully somehow this activity, or lack of, will get cleared up. Oh, by the way, this is happening on 2 different desktop computers running XPSP3 Home, 1 laptop running XPSP3 Pro, & 1 desktop computer running XPSP3 MediaCenter. Take care.
