Pete, Many thanks all sorted, now perhaps I can enjoy the quiet life for a while.

Hope this helps, Pete H. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Williams" <jwbr33694@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 12:42 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: After Installing JAWS 9 > Pete, > > Thats the combination I was trying to use but it didn't work > and I've not set up any other hot keys. > > Can you just remind meof the sequence for setting up a hot > key just in case I'm getting that part wrong. > > Jim > > -----Original Message----- > From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Peter > Hallam > Sent: 14 August 2008 11:38 > To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: After Installing JAWS 9 > > > Hi Jim, > > I had no problem setting up a hot key for JFW 9, are you > sure the hot key > you are trying to set up isn't used for another application? > The > recommended hot key is ctrl alt j, but you need only press j > to make it > work. > > Regards, > > Pete H. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jim Williams" <jwbr33694@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 11:29 AM > Subject: [jaws-uk] After Installing JAWS 9 > > >> Hi List, >> >> Over last weekend I mentioned a problem I was having after >> installing JAWS 9 and after suggestions from the List I >> thought I was sorted.
