true, and you can tell it not to lock the computer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "emarquette" <emarquette@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2004 4:36 AM Subject: RE: Loosing Speech with Laptop You may just be triggering a security mechanism. If you do not touch your keyboard for some period of time, your laptop may go into a power management or security mode that requires you, before you continue, to press control plus alt plus delete. Then, you need to enter your password. This, of course, applies only if you are using Windows 2000 or Windows XP. This feature threw me a curve initially. The system is looking for keyboard activity. That is probably why it is going into this mode. Both my laptop and my desktop do exactly what you are describing. It has nothing to do with JAWS.

I often loose speech if the computer has been on for a while, I have to totally reboot. This often happens when I have not been active on the computer but also happens in the middle of reading a long word document. Advice?
