Hi, Make sure the Automatically Start Jaws check box is checked in the Basics menu in the Jaws Window. Only one program at a time can have this box checked.

Jfw, runs, but does not talk unless I do this, in other words, jfw.exe shows up in program manager, (control-alt-delete) under processes, but does not talk. Her computer is pretty generic, XP home, 2Gigs ram, 2Ghz processor. Jfw9, did talk when started on that same computer. Curtis Delzer.

This seems to be true at least with XP. When I vchecked this box in one version of Jaws, it automatically unchecked this box from the last version previously run, otherwise the operating system would not know which Jaws to start with the next boot of the system.

Then, stop version 9, and run the version 10 copy. In the basic options for THAT version, check the "Automatically start JAWS" checkbox. Then, the next time you log in, your version 10 JAWS should start as you expect.
