  So, if you're running anything earlier than JAWS 12, go into configuration

sleep mode" and click OK, then save the configuration.

  Isn't this going to be impossible for her? The minute the WindowsOS.jcf file 
is loaded, her speech will silence. She won't be able to navigate to the 
advanced settings box and the sleep mode box.

  No, I ran through this scenario early this morning and it talked all the way 
through.  One point of clarification:
  I was not on the desktop when I loaded configuration manager, and I told the 
cf manager to load WindowsOS so I could make the change, and, as I said, I got 
no speech loss.  If you try doing that from the desktop, all bets are off.
