First you'll have to erase the hot key you have for other jaws versions by running the version you have a hot key set for and going into programs and go to the jaws version you have a hot key set for and go to the properties menu and tab to hot key and backspace to erase that. Then exit that version of jaws and run jaws 8 and set your hot key as you normally would. Make sure first that your old version of jaws has run jaws first checkbox not checked. I think it automatically does that but I always check to see anyway.

Hi All, I know this has been discussed before but I have always been able to get a hot key set so I've never paid much attention to the discussions. I'm trying to set a hot key for Jaws 8 though and can't seem to make it work. I never keep the Jaws icon on my desktop so I am going to the start menu then to programs, Jaws 8, and finally Jaws within the Jaws 8 submenu. I have set hot keys in the same way with other Jaws versions and it has worked, anybody have any suggestions? Thanks.
