While you may not have had a problem setting a hot key for JAWS 8.0, a number of people on this list did.

You can unload JAWS 8.0 or 9.0 beta and use another screen reader to set the hot key for JAWS, and everything works fine. I tried several times to set the Control+Alt+j hot key in the properties of the JAWS 9.0 Desktop icon after removing it from JAWS 8.0. The procedure failed every time. I then unloaded JAWS and used Window-Eyes to do the job. I could have used Narrator instead. Just another reported problem they didn't fix that also occurred in JAWS 8.0.Gary King w4wkz@xxxxxxxx----- Original Message ----- From: "Troy Burnham" <homerun@xxxxxxxxx>To: "jfw" <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, October 05, 2007 5:37 PM Subject: Jaws 8 and hot keysHi All,Has anybody been able to set a hot key on Jaws 8 and it actually sticks and works? I never had trouble setting hot keys before Jaws 8 but I've always had trouble setting a hot key for Jaws 8, and according to a tech supportperson at Freedom Scientific today it's a Windows problem and not a Jawsproblem. I might believe that if I have always had trouble even with other versions of Jaws, but today I was even trying to set the hot key on my new laptop that I just got a couple of days ago and I couldn't make it work so to me that shoots a hole in the theory of it being a Windows problem smile.Troy -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.comJFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxTo unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfwIf you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
