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.

  My wife's computer I had to make a short cut to jaws in the start menu, or it 
would not come up talking at all. 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.

    Hi,
    My experience with (automatically start Jaws) check box is that it is 
mutually exclusive between different versions of Jaws.  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.

      You have to run version 9, and in the basic options, you uncheck the
      "automatically start JAWS" checkbox.  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.

      Hi.
      was playing around with real tech audio manager, and lost all my sound.
      a sighted friend got my sound back for me.
      now the questions below.
      well, got my sound and jaws back, but was not able to use the updatte
      feature, as i had uninstalled jaws 10.
      now, had to download it, and got jaws 9.0 as well.
      but when my system starts and jaws starts, instead of loading version 10, 
it
      is still loading version 9.
      so how can i make version 10 the default on my windows vista system.
      tried looking in default programs and setting defaults, but cannot find 
any
      thing.
      is uninstalling version 9, would this fix this problem.
      or tried loading jaws 10, from the desk top and the programs folder, but
      refusing to go to version 10 and had a look at the version number.
      still version 9.
      really strange, after the real tech audio manager software, was blocking 
all
      sound and speech.
      anyone had this problem before in windows vista and how to fix this one.
      cheers Marvin.
