the computer through the day.

  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.  

      Judy

        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
