or,
if, you have lets say 3 versions on your desktop of jaws
5.1, 6.0, and 6.2,
when you install a new version lets say 6.2 came out today
and you installed it,
1it would ask you do you want to have it startup at start up
and you said, yes
but, you don like it, and want to go back to a earlier version,
2when it installed it doesn't have a hot key assigned to start up manually
it is still assigned to the earlier version
no matter what version is running
minimize to the desktop
press the letter j
to see what versions are on the desktop
alt enter on the icon,
of each version
tab to the shortcut key
back space out the j of the version you don't want to run
tab once then press alt, a, to apply the changes then shift tab to the ok
button enter
minimize, press j until you land on the version you do, want, to have start up
alt enter tab press the letter j in the shortcut key box,
then tab to apply shift tab to ok,
so lets say
6.2, is still the version that loads at start up
And you want 5.1, to be the start up version
Press insert j,
Enter on options, enter on basics,
Tab to automatically start jaws and uncheck it on the version running 6.2
Tab to the ok button
Jaws will go nutz
And whine what do you mean you don't love me
and don't want me to start up when the computer starts
be firm and tell it that's right,
by hitting the yes button
now, turn off jaws, insert f4, on version 6.2,
you have assigned the hotkey for 5.1,
control alt j,
it starts
insert j,
enter on options , basics
tab to automatically start check box and check it,
tab to ok
and u b done
o o o o
one last ting,
I usually assign control alt j, to the version I have start up
And have control shift j, to the version I leave on the desktop
As back up, if I don't like what the new one is doing
You set by pressing all 3 keys in the shortcut key box at the same time,
Control shift j,
Last thought,
And on only two cups of coffee,
Whether or not I have the room, for them
I only leave 2 versions installed at any given time
Depending on the level of jaws experience of the user,
I learned that I could delete the icon off, of the desktop
It just deletes the short cut and not the program,
Out of sight out of mind,
When I did run out of space, on the first computer, I went and uninstalled the
older versions,
Lets say, 6.2 Is the current version running I finally am going to uninstall
the oldest,
Version collecting dust,
good ol, 4.51,
going to programs,and pressing the letter j, till on 4.51
then arrowing to uninstall
or maintenance and tabbing to the list andarrowing to remove
sometimes it sounds like it is installing the program instead of removing don
worry, just continue and finish the removal process,
but, when you restart the computer
to finish the removal, process
you have to reset the hotkey and which version starts up
so when the computer has restarted no jaws will be running
just know what to do,
minimize all applications
windows key and the letter m,
press the letter j, then enter to get any version up and running,
it doesn't matter which one the back up or the version you want to have start
up
you have to set the shortcut key anyway,then turn off and restart the version
you want to have start at start up,and set the automatically run at start up
check box
which is why some people just leave all dem old versions on the coputer
in the first place,
hahahahaa
good luck
the curmudgeon les

Did you uninstall 6 or 5? If not go into your 5.0 basics and check off run jfw
at start up. Then go into version 6.2 and uncheck the same thing. Send your
6.2 Icon to a hidden folder. On XP there is a unused shortcuts folder on your
desk top. Send the 5.short cut to your desk top & restart your computer.
Cheers...Keith
