Hi,
First of all, is your friend closing or disabling JAWS via the JAWS menu in
the correct manner?
Secondly have you set up a hot key (usually Ctrl+Shift+J) to turn JAWS back
on?

Subject: Jaws and error message
Hi Everybody
On my desktop computer I am using Jaws 8 and Windows XP Home.
A friend of mine often uses the computer and then disables Jaws.
Yesterday when he wanted to put Jaws back, we got the following error
message (which we now get whenever the computer is switched on):
"error reading disc occurred; press control, alt, delete".
When I press control, alt, delete, I get another message:
"searching for boot record from floppy".
Then I am back to square one.
Obviously Jaws does not speak and I can do absolutely nothing with the
computer.
From what I have found out, the problem might be caused by a virus (but then
I am using AVG free edition; latest version) or my hard drive could be
damaged. (The computer is about 4 years old).
Just for in case there is another option - something to do with the process
of disabling and reloading Jaws again, does anybody have an idea/opinion?
Thanks.
Renette
