MessageRick,

But it depends on your settings in the configuration. You can direct JAWS to 
use both or only one of the Insert keys.

  Both insert keys work here for me.

    Is the Num Lock on or off?

    The fact that the JAWS (Insert) key does not work is mystifying.

    Oh, wait, which Insert key are you using, the one in the 6-pack, or the one 
at the bottom of the Numpad? It could make a very big difference.

      Hi,

      I am using a desktop and pressed the insert key (JAWS key) and f2, but 
didn't get anything.

        That's truly strange. JAWS+F2 should bring up a list of actions, 
allowing you to select the configuration manager, and other various goodies. 
Are you certain you're using the JAWS key? If on a laptop layout, it's the Caps 
Lock key.

        Just doesn't seem right that you don't get the list.
        Dave

          Thanks.  I might have to select no speech, because nothing happens 
when I press JAWS key and f2.

            JAWS+F2 will allow you to select the Configuration Manager.

            Once there you press Alt+s, then A for advanced. Then the first 
checkbox is for Sleep mode.

            Then press OK, then Alt+F, s to save, and then Alt+f4 to close the 
configuration manager.

            Then JAWS will be asleep whenever you launch that application.

            Other than that, the only other way to suspend JAWS is to press 
JAWS+Ctrl+s and select "no speech" from the list of synthesizers.

              Should these instructions work when in S A Mobile network, also?  
I'd like to put JAWS asleep when S A Mobile starts.  But, when I'm on the S A 
Mobile desktop, nothing happens when I press the JAWS key and f2; probably 
because I'm in another screen reader.  Any thoughts?

                yes this is easy.
                open the game
                JAWSKey+f2 
                choose configuration manager.
                this will make a jcf file for the game if there is not one 
already
                choose advanced from the set options menu.
                Check the sleep mode check box
                press enter to activate the ok button
                Close the configuration manager and say yes when it asks if you 
want to save the changes.
                from then on when the game is running JAWS will be silent. when 
you exit the game or alt+tab away from it JAWS will work normally.

                  Heya folks,

                  Am running jaws 8 and I have a couple of audio games that I 
need to turn off my Jaws screen reader  to make the games work, my question is 
whats the easist way to put Jaws asleep? and is there a way I can link it with 
the game that is easy once I exit out of the game to get my speech back? 

                  cheers,

                  Jim
