Here's what probably happened. When you reboot your computer using the power
button, Windows starts up after a forced shutdown. So when it boots, it
gives you two options:
1. Start Windows normarlly.
2. Start Windows in safe mode.
Brilliantly, we do not have any support on this screen with JAWS or any
other screen reader I know. So I suggest just as you reboot with the power
key in the next 4 to 5 seconds press the enter key so that option 1 is
selected. I would not recommend forced restarts, they are bad for the long
run. But I know that this loss of speech from JAWS you will encounter many a
times when programs stop responding, Windows 7 favourite thing to do.
Hope this helps. You can try a force restart and let us all know your
experience.

Subject: [jaws-uk] bizarre JAWS and computer qurey
HI all,
I have a ratehr bizarre query and wonder if anyone can shed any light on
what may have happend.
I appear to have encountered two problems with my PC tonight.
I had a phone call from a friend and before that, I had been on my computer,
going through my Emails.
When I had finished on the phone, I discovered hat JAWS had gone silent and
so I did a reboot, by pressing the power button on my PC.
When it came on, I got the opening jingle but JAWS didn't want to start up.
I have had one or two problem of late but when JAWS failed to start, I
decided to start it via the desktop.
It just so happens to be the first icon beginning wiht the letter J and so I
wwent to it and pressed enter.
after a few seconds, JAWS 12 came back, however, it was in the default mode.
This was ratehr annoying, as I tend to have it set fairly fast.
I then went to open outlook, only to discover that outlook express wouldn't
open correctly and I was instead promted to set up a new acount.
I then tried the internet but this too wouldn't open correctly, plus I
appeared to have lost all favourites.
I decided to do another reboot and believe it or not, JAWS 12 came bakc on
at the speed i'd set it, plus I was able to acccess outlook and the internet
without any problems.
Have had my PC on for the past two hours and have not encountered any
problems.
Wonder if anyone can shed any light on the above glitches as I am rather
baffled as to what weht went on and why.
Any thoughts on the above would be most welcome.
Thank
Paul.
