Vikki, one thing you can do is pin a shortcut of JAWS to your start menu. That way when the computer has no speech all you will have to do is hit the windows key followed by the J key and hit enter and that should start JAWS.

My husband is sighted and always unloads JAWS with the insert F4. With JAWS 8 the alt control j seems to bring JAWS back. There are times, however, when I have to reboot in order for JAWS to work correctly. Vicky Golightly
