If it's not coming on even when you first turn on the laptop, then it can't possibly be jaws as there's no software loaded at that point. If you've completely uninstalled jaws and the monitor functions have returned, then I suppose jaws must be at fault, but that should mean you would have at least a short period when the monitor operates until windows, and then it's drivers, are loaded.
