Exactly. But I'm going to ask the admin to take the sleep option away.

Once the computer is locked it’s hit or miss as to whether JAWS decided to tell me it wants me to input my smartcard and password and sometimes this has led to my smartcard being locked out due to getting the password wrong three times, even though I typed it in correctly I don’t think the computer always puts you in the password field when you input a smartcard. Very annoying. Peter From: Judy Jones Sent: Saturday, November 20, 2010 5:55 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: jaws 12 freezing up Hi, Mike, I'm having similar problems at work. Our administrator has the computers going to sleep after 30 minutes of nonuse. I just have to, by faith, type in my password, and we're good to go again, but it took a colleague with some vision to confirm what I needed to do. Otherwise, I was mistaking that for a Jaws lockup, and, in fact, Jaws should recognize when the computer wakes up. Had this problem both in Jaws 11 and 12 with Windows 7. I have Jaws 10 on my laptop and two other computers at home running Vista, but I'm not likely to purchase Jaws 12 personally at this point.

For , no reason! It will happen just by doing something as simple as clicking on something on the desktop. When I invoke the Jaws key, windows key, + F4 keystroke, then when I try to restart any version of Jaws with its respective hotkey, no version of Jaws will load. I have to do a hard shutdown & reboot before I get Jaws back again. I had this happen while I had Freedom Scientific on the phone for a different reason and they couldn't figure out / explain why it would do this either. I thought, at first, that I would be very happy with J12 but, it seems to be doing the same old crap the J11 did! Losing focus & just quit working while attempting the simplest of tasks'. I have written them & spoken with them, to no avail. Hopefully somehow this activity, or lack of, will get cleared up. Oh, by the way, this is happening on 2 different desktop computers running XPSP3 Home, 1 laptop running XPSP3 Pro, & 1 desktop computer running XPSP3 MediaCenter. Take care.
