Hi Lister, I have had the same problem sometimes. What to do, unload jaws using inset and f-4 keys. Log on to a web site you know real well without jaws, then reload it.

Whenever I leave my computer for 5 minutes or more and come back to it, jaws is silent. I'll type a couple of commands, and sometimes it comes back and sometimes not, and I have to reboot to get it working again. There are no "stand by" or "hibernation" settings on, and the computer is alive and well, because I hear other processes working such as the sound telling me that email has come in. My son, who can see, checked it out while jaws was out and said that everything was working fine. So, can any one tell me what's going on with my friend jaws? Should I do a repair? As always, I'm very grateful for any help. Thank you. Tony Santiago tsantiago128@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
