John,
On the 2 machines running Win 7 in this house, I have set them to 'Sleep' but not hibernate (advanced power settings).
So far, this has usually been OK, but again, the problem might be a machine-specific one.

I use W7 64 bit, JAWS 11 and a HP Pavilion laptop.

When it does come out of stand by mode not all things work as they should including Outlook 2007.

The stand by or hybernate mode has been a problem as long as I can remember from JAWS 7 forward so i just do not do it.

No sorry I don't.  There is so much variation in configurations these days - particularly with laptops - that it's hard to know where to start. 
I once spent two days trying to figure out why ZoomText wouldn't install on a laptop.  The culpret in the end was a little software widget which came with the laptop which was constantly scanning for a network printer.
Two days to find the widget, 30 seconds to delete it.

Thanks for your thoughts; however, do you have any idea Why this problem should occur simply with a restart as well?

I'm not an expert, but it sounds as if something is not being stored properly when you go into and exit from hybernate mode.

 

Incidentally, Freedom Scientific does not recommend using either stand-by or hybernate mode with JAWS.

Subject: jaws not behaving properly on restart or hibernate mode on laptop

 

Hi: I am using jaws 10 on a toshiba laptop with xp pro. Recently I noticed that when I restart the laptop computer or come out of hibernate mode, the cursors (down and up arrows) in jaws are not behaving properly. In otherwords, e.g., when I go to date and time and move down to read the time setting, for instance, it does not read. Also, in word perfect 8, the cursors read a blank, although if I go one character at a time to the left it will read the letter. 

Interestingly, when I shut down and turn the computer back on, everything works fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. John Fioravanti
