I did all of that but the hot key didn't take, and I know that I don't have that hot key set up anywhere else.

I'm trying to set a hot key for Jaws 8 though and can't seem to make it work. I never keep the Jaws icon on my desktop so I am going to the start menu then to programs, Jaws 8, and finally Jaws within the Jaws 8 submenu. I have set hot keys in the same way with other Jaws versions and it has worked, anybody have any suggestions? Thanks.
