Hi,
I'm afraid I don't understand what you say, below, about the method you
figured out for yourself. Going to the control panel, and a combo box, and
having a button shut down? i don't get it. Could you try to rephrase this?
Now you've made me really curious to find out this possibly helpful
workaround. Also, by the way, I didn't know this had started with being in
an emergency cituation because Jaws had stopped.

this thread was started by me and i had originally asked this question
because jaws had stopped talking.
i found the most helpful reply to be going to power settings in the control
panel and going to the advanced tab and using the combo box to have the
power button to shut down for me.
