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

  Judy,

  Can you convince your IT Admin to turn off this timeout? 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.

    Hi, Mike,

    I'm having similar problems at work.  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.

      Hi Shannon, Dave, & Chris;

      I have this problem on a regular basis!  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.
      Mike
