Judge for yourself, Stand By turns off all power and uses the battery to provide a small current to retain everything in system memory , whilst Hibernate creates a settings file before the computer shuts down completely. When switching the machine back on, the stand by shutdown method just restores power to all devices and continues where it left off, whilst the Hibernate shutdown method uses the settings file it created to restore your system to how it was when you shut down.

I do know that when I restart my PC, all is right and Jaws is working properly, not as demo. Any other help please.

I have had that happen to me several times, and usually when I restart my Pc, that resolves the issue and I return from stand by or hibernate modes, Jaws comes back as a full version . I have done this on both of my systems; laptop is running Windows XP Pro with SP2 and Jaws 8.0.2107, desktop is running Windows XP Home with SP2 and Jaws 8.0.2107, and, both systems have latest updates installed. Hope this helps, Jeff Check out my blog!

So today I tried it. When I come back from stand by position, Jaws is coming but only as demo mode. Can someone tell me what to do to solve that problem? I'm using win XP professional, SP2 with all the latest updates and Jaws 8.0.2107.
