Does this explain why my jaws comes up in Windows 7 and I enter my password and the computer is silent? I hit the application key and then hit j.

I'd hope noone would actually consider JAWS locking at UAC acceptable behavior, especially when its chief commercial competition handles UAC so seamlessly.

Isn't the UAC supposed to protect you by showing you -what- is trying to change your comp? If Jaws just locks up, "just hitting alt+y" is slightly counter productive to the reasoning for UAC in the first place it seems. On 9/13/2010 7:27 AM, Stephen W. Wise wrote: Hello, As a general rule if you are launching an application (and I emphasize you)and UAC comes up-characterized by a sound (applies to Windows 7)-you would hit the key combination Alt+Y for yes...this also applies to when JAWS is being installed for the first time or if a new version is being installed; at least from my experiences, the JAWS installer will ask you to hit enter to reboot the system and continue installation (but not always) and after logging into your account UAC comes up. Generally, this is not a problem if you only have one account on the system as the login screen usually will have your name highlighted if you didn't set a password at which point you would just hit enter. Otherwise, your name would be highlighted and you would hit enter and type your password and press enter.-just hit Alt+y for 'Yes' and the installation should continue. As far as a process beginning at the login screen and then re-initializing itself after logging into the account-that has to do with the security protections of Windows 7. JAWS needs to run in an elevated rights mode in order for it to access the login screen and then reload itself into the users account at the privilege level of the user of the system.

And for one reason or another, it starts some sort of new process on login, then restarts itself after you log on.

I have to use NVDA everytime I need to interact with a UAC dialog.

What is the first version of JAWS that will support Windows 7? I am licenced for JAWS 9, but not later. I have spent quite a while today searching the JAWS website for this information, but without success. It must be there somewhere, but I somehow missed it. Any information would be very much appreciated. TIA. Ian Ian D.
