MessageAlex, I hope FS is able to solve this problem. It's not always convenient to use narrator instead of JAWS.

Just think how I feel now.

Very puzzleing but if narater worked then it's definately a JAWS issue.

I'll send freedom Scientific a message about it. Cheers.

If you can then JAWS has something to do with it. IF not then its something else.

John ----- Original Message ----- From: Alex Stone To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, November 24, 2006 5:13 PM Subject: RE: strange problem with jaws 8 and ctrl+alt+j hotkey Rick, Have you been following this thread. I'm sick and tired of the number of times I've had to explain that I've checked all the desktop icons to make sure nothing has the keystroke assigned to it. I've also used shortcut detective from the jfwlite website to determine that there is no shortcut on my system that has the ctrl+shift+j keystroke assigned to it. Cheers.

That is either a MS issue or someone hasn't cleared the contro+Alt+j shortcut from another icon on the desktop. We can't blame every single issue to JAWS.
