JAWS Memory Dump Command If a total loss of speech occurs, it is difficult to recover JAWS without rebooting the computer. However, a reboot provides no diagnostic information to assist Freedom Scientific in researching the underlying problem. INSERT+WINDOWS Key+F4 is a new JAWS keystroke for emergency recovery. The new keystroke closes JAWS, terminates all related processes, and creates a memory dump file. The diagnostic information can be used to assist Technical Support. (Note: The keystroke will not work at the Windows Log In screen.) After issuing this command, you can restart JAWS to regain speech. The memory dump file is saved to the Settings folder. ----- Original Message ----- From: Yadiel Sotomayor To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, October 01, 2010 3:20 PM Subject: Re: Kill jaws! what's a memory dump file?

Hello there; I believe there was a jaws keystroke, insert+windows-key+f4, this will terminate JAWS and all related processes while creating a memory dump file for JAWS at the same time. ----- Original Message ----- From: Harmony Neil To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2010 4:47 AM Subject: RE: Kill jaws! The only way I know to kill jaws completely is to press insert windows f4. This erases jaws from the memory of the computer. If you just want to quit jaws temporarily though, press insert f4 which will bring up the quit jaws dialog. Hope this helps, Harmony.

Hello list: I remembered that on one post somebody mention a "kill jaws" icon for... well, killing jaws when it got out of control. Can somebody tell me how to create that same short cut? I deleted the messege and I need that short cut. I can't rely on NVDA and narrator getting me out of trouble when jaws attacks. lol. Besides, the task manager isn't that accessible with narrator and NVDA... well, I don't like it. Besides, when jaws goes out cold NVDA doesn't response that well either. Maybe NVDA is afraid of the shark. Yadiel Sotomayor yadosotomayor@xxxxxxxxxxx Yadiel Sotomayor yadosotomayor@xxxxxxxxxxx
