Hello List, I too am most interested in this thread. I have a similar problem. My employer directs us to logoff our computers each night, not to shut it down. When I come in each morning, I can have one of three different screen options presented to me: - The regular logon screen - A confirmation of our security policies - Notification that my password needs to be reset Of course I could be sure to change my password in a timely interval not to have that screen presented, but Since the security verification is randomly presented, I never know which screen is present on any given day. I have been advised that powering down is not "good" for the computer, but at the moment, that is the only choice I have to get JAWS talking again. Please keep me in the flow if anyone solves this situation. I will do the same. I can be reached directly at either: BarbaraAnne1@xxxxxxx - personal BABolin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - professional.
