My first inclination would be to say that perhaps your netbook is automatically making occasional changes or updates to itself. This may be causing JAWS to think you've reformatted or made changes to your computer. That having been said, can this be avoided by removing the system sentinel driver?

I put the authorization information in, and it runs just find for quite awhile. But, maybe a month or two later, I get the same message. What could this be?
