Chris,
it's nice someone thought to ask this! It never occurred to me that someone
might input, delete or revise the settings of a hotkey without exiting the
task properly, so just like everyone else, I didn't even mention that, even though we're always saying to click OK after changing something in anything
from the Configuration manager to the options settings of something like
Internet Explorer or Outlook Express.  Or Word.  Or whatever.  Wouldn't it
be nice if that turned out to be the problem someone had with this, instead
of some mysterious malfunction?

Hi.  Have you atempted to hit apply before pressing the ok button to
save your changes? I was atempting to do a hot key for another progam
and i found that I had to do that to get the hotkey to work.

I agree here.  I'm having the same problem as others on this list, but I
don't want a third party program to fix it.  It should work straight from
the Desktop, which is how I've set up all my hot keys previously.

So, I go to the Desktop, land on Jaws 8's icon, hit Alt-Enter for
Properties.

The Target field already reads:  "C:\Program Files\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\8.0\jfw.exe"

I've verified that this is, indeed, where jfw.exe resides.

Now I tab to the Shortcut Key field.

I've tried the following:

Just hitting j (which should go with the default, control+alt+j).

Hitting control+alt+j directly.

Now I tab forward a couple times, and then back to this field.  Usually,
at
this point it says None, when it reads the hot key, though sometimes it
says, Control+altt.  (It doesn't say j at this point, just control plus
alt.)

This last time, it said Control+Alt+J, and I was happy.  So I exited Jaws
and tried to bring it up with the hot key.  Nothing happened.  I started
it
manually, and went back to the Shortcut Key field, and it now says None
again.

I installed JAWS on Friday, when it was released to everyone, and the
computer has been rebooted several times since then.

Any thoughts?

Jim,
don't you think it would be easy enough just to click on the icons's
properties, tab to the Target field, enter the path and the exec.
filename,
and that would be that?  Why would you need some third party program?

Hi List:
I've got a strange problem occurring with Jaws 8 on an xp pro laptop.   I
uninstalled Jaws 7 after installing 8, and for some reason, I cannot get a hotkey ctrl+alt+j, or any other combination of that, to stick. The window
in the properties is set to run maximized, but when I apply the settings,
it
doesn't seem to take?  Fortunately, Jaws is set to come up on startup, so
that's not a problem there, but it would be good to have that hotkey back,
just in case.  Any ideas?

Scott Van Gorp
