Hi, Cy.  By the way, when I press my Windows key and arrow once to the right, 
it doesn't land on anything that would shut down my computer.

  I have the time out set for 1 hour so it won't go to sleep on me while I am 
working on it.

  I have it set to shut down when on battery power rather than just go to sleep.

  Yes, I do just shut it down when I am through. Just press the Windows key, 
arrow once to the right and hit enter and it shuts down.

  Hi: So I suppose you simply shut down when you're finished with the laptop 
and live with it? It ashame because the standby or hibernate modes are so 
convenient.

    I use W7 64 bit, JAWS 11 and a HP Pavilion laptop.

    When it does come out of stand by mode not all things work as they should 
including Outlook 2007.

    The stand by or hybernate mode has been a problem as long as I can remember 
from JAWS 7 forward so i just do not do it.

    No sorry I don't.  There is so much variation in configurations these days 
- particularly with laptops - that it's hard to know where to start.  
    I once spent two days trying to figure out why ZoomText wouldn't install on 
a laptop.  The culpret in the end was a little software widget which came with 
the laptop which was constantly scanning for a network printer.
    Two days to find the widget, 30 seconds to delete it.

    Thanks for your thoughts; however, do you have any idea Why this problem

      I'm not an expert, but it sounds as if something is not being stored 
properly when you go into and exit from hybernate mode. 

       

      Incidentally, Freedom Scientific does not recommend using either stand-by 
or hybernate mode with JAWS.

        Hi: I am using jaws 10 on a toshiba laptop with xp pro. Recently I 
noticed that when I restart the laptop computer or come out of hibernate mode, 
the cursors (down and up arrows) in jaws are not behaving properly. In 
otherwords, e.g., when I go to date and time and move down to read the time 
setting, for instance, it does not read. Also, in word perfect 8, the cursors 
read a blank, although if I go one character at a time to the left it will read 
the letter.  

        Interestingly, when I shut down and turn the computer back on, 
everything works fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. John Fioravanti
