Hallo, I tried This yesterday and again, today I am using Jaws 11 home patched 
and used it on xp,Jaws hit the roof shouted file view menue and all it could 
see,finished up saying the time nonstop every few minutes, had to turn laptop 
off to stop Jaws. today I just tried it again and off Jaws went at full speed 
file view and  so on and clockandI have just got it back on are you sure about 
those keystrokes? the only time I have seen Jaws throw that kind of tantrum,was 
in the past when it was set to Monochrome black screen white font,,reason was 
Jaws saw all white text on a blackbackground as selected or highlighted text,no 
script would have helped nor did magic,in fact magic was worse, Lunar  from 
dolphin did work in inverse mode but I am told that in latest versions of 
Jaws,it will work,and  a vip sent me settings to try,he said it needed a 
sighted person to set it up,I have sent to a friend who when we do a tandem 
link upwill  try them out they will only work it seems with xp, however windows 
7 does not have any problems of that kind, well many vips have  some residual 
vision and need black screen and white font,I do not mean magnification just 
black or dark blue screen and white print dorothy

  And just a reminder for JAWS 11:  Insert+space+s to turn off speech and the 
same to toggle it back on.At 12:58 PM 6/25/2010 +0430, Parham Doustdar wrote:

    You can press ctrl+insert+s and select no speech, then later on, to restore 
it, press ctrl+insert+s, home, and then enter. Also, if you want Jaws to be 
entirely silent in an application only, and pass all the keys through (E.G. in 
a game, instead of quitting Jaws, you just want to disable it), go to the 
configuration manager for that application (insert+6), and in the set menu 
(alt+s), select advanced, and then tick the first checkbox (which reads 
something like enable), which enables the sleep mode in that aplication, 
effectively rendering Jaws non-existent in that application.

      i am looking for a shortcut key which i can mute jaws. please note that i 
dont mean insert+F4 which completely exits jaws and also not ctrl which only 
interrupts the current statement. i mean a real pause or mute.
