Kenny,

Your locking code will not help anyone else solve the problem. The locking code 
is a unique number generated by your computer based on the combination of 
several hardware items installed. Think of it like a Checksum used to validate 
a very large hexadecimal number. If you don't know what a checksum is, try 
Googling it.

In any case your locking code can change when hardware (and apparently some 
drivers) change and when it does, it triggers JAWS to request a new activation 
code. This is because JAWS assumes that a new locking code means that you have 
installed JAWS on a completely different computer. Their strategy to control 
the number of JAWS installations per user is valid, but the implementation is 
flawed.

So forget your locking code, and just do what Alex said. Download the latest 
JAWS 11 dot 0 dot 1461 (that's the latest) and install. See what happens. If 
you still have problems then you need to let Freedom Scientific know, or if 
you're fed up with it, purchase a dongle and you don't have to mess with the 
activation key any more.

Dave

  Hi Alan this is kenny. Here is the locking code. I wonder if these things 
change if you get the activation prompt?
