hi phil
we followed your instructions and took off the welcome page. but jaws just went
off
altogether, so we put the welcome page back on and the same thing was happening
all
over again, every time we went in to the control centre jaws just shut up all
together and we have to boot up the computer all the time to get jaws back
again.

Hi Susan,
I have a suspicion that the problem which Joe is experiencing is to do with
the fact that most computers which ship with XP have the welcome screen set
on loading.
This presents a dropdown menu of usernames which Jaws doesn't always detect.
To stop the welcome screen from showing and allowing the pc to revert to the
classic form of login where one has two fields for username and password,
you need to have administrator privileges which I suspect that Joe has. If
not, you won't be able to find some of the items I am about to mention.
1. Find the control panel, either directly from the start menu or by
choosing settings from the start menu and control panel should be one of the
items in settings. note. You get to the start menu by pressing the windows
logo key.
2. Find user accounts in the control panel and press enter.
3. You normally land on the item "change an account". From here, cursor
down twice to land on "change the way users log on or off" and press enter.
4. You should land on the item "use the welcome screen" and should be
able to hear whether it is checked or not. Make sure that it is unchecked.
You can check or uncheck this type of field by pressing the spacebar.
5. Tab once to "apply options" and press enter.
6. Press alt+f4 to close the user accounts window.
7. From the start menu choose "shutdown" and select restart from the menu
and press enter.
Your pc should now reboot and you should have the old style login screen
which Jaws can read more easily.
I hope this helps,
Phil Medway.

hi colin
i'm sorry, but maybe i didn't explain myself very well, joe and i both have
our own
computers, and it is on behalf of joe that i mailed the list.
do you know just what some of these boxes in the basics options should be
set at?
he has just got this new computer and for the first time he is useing xp.

Hi Susan,
I'm no expert, but I think I'm running the same set of programs as you. I
don't have this problem. When the PC boots up, Jaws gives a little bit of
functionality, but doesn't run fully until I log on. I guess it is all to
do with ticking the right boxes in the 'Basics' option. One problem we have
had (and maybe we still do) is that, if my wife logs on before I've used the
PC, she ends up with Jaws, which is something that she doesn't want.
I used to have terrible trouble when I was still working, both on start-up
and especially on shut-down. The university system required me to do things
when Jaws had stopped or not yet started. In the end, I left my machine
running permanently.
I hope you get sorted soon.
