Of course I can't find it, but I rememeber a knowledge base article about why logging off and switching users messes up Jaws. I really do think FS has changed something, because I used to be able to find everything I had read about in the knowledge base on the FS site, but not now. Sorry! Enough of my whining. I have heard of people using narrator at the log in screen after switching users. There is a way to have jaws only run for only one user, but I really don't think that would help because run jaws first for it to read the log in screen is as you start your computer, not switch users. Anyway, if anyone is interested, here is how you only use jaws on one user. Haven't done it, but FS says it can be done, smile. http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_support/BulletinView.cfm?QC=772 Debbie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Katherine Schulz" <katherineschulz6266@xxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 4:50 PM Subject: Re: Jaws and the Login Screen He just turns it off when he gets on as he doesn't need it. When he goes to switch user, shouldn't it come on again? How do I get it to turn on? There is no screen saver on and I have the monitor turned off when I use the computer.

There are 2 users and we each have a password. I am the only one using Jaws as he turns it off when logged on. When we go to the login screen to switch members, if I want to get on, there is no speech whatsoever and I have no way to tell where I am. Even when you use the keystroke to bring it back, it won't work. I have to have someone place the cursor on my password and then type it in. Then I have to turn Jaws on again. Is this supposed to be this way or can it be changed? I have a Dell Demension310 and Windows XP Home Edition with Jaws 6.0. Thank you for anything you can come up with to solve this problem.
