Hi, I’ve tried that but it’s a bit hit and miss when it works. Not sure if
maybe something else has that cmobination. It works once JAWS is loaded and
works sometimes to actually load it but not every time.

As far as restarting Jaws goes,m while you're up and running, check to see that
you have the ctrl-alt-j shortcut key in the Jaws icon on your desktop. Any
time you have to start, you don't have to go to the "run" menu, but just press
ctrl-alt-j. If you have other Jaws versions on your system, and they have
shortcut keys, give them different shortcut keys, for instance, ctrl-alt-7 or
ctrl-alt-u.
Hope this helps.
Judy

Hi all, I did email about this a week or so back but either didn’t get any
response or missed them.
I’m not sure if this is caused by JAWS or not, but I have tried JAWS 11 and
12 running on an Intel I5 processor, 4GB RAM and Windows 7 64bit.
Even without any intervention from myself JAWS says that it’s gone in to a
context menu, or changed windows or gone on to the desktop. Often I find I
can’t do anything i.e. switch to different windows or the desktop. The only key
which seems to have any affect is the INSERT F10 keystroke to bring up a list
of windows. I’m occasionally finding that JAWS also won’t read context menus. A
restart of JAWS usually fixes it but on occasions I can’t get to the start menu
or run dialogue to rstart JAWS.
This is a brand new computer. I even resorted to completely reinstalling
windows and starting a fresh and still the same problem before I’ve even
installed any other applications other than JAWS.
Any help appreciated as it’s starting to get a bit much. Problem is I don’t
even know if it is a JAWS issue. I’m running Microsoft Security Essentials and
am pretty certain it’s not virus or malware related. The only thing I can think
which is different to previous PCs I’ve had is the 64bit operating system and
where possible 64bit versions of my applications.
Thanks
Peter
