Hi Nicol,
Try this:
After your computer starts, and Jaws stops talking, press alt tab, then check the title bar.
I have several machines that exhibit this behavior,
and Jaws simply doesn't have the focus when  on the desktop at this time.
Once I alt tab, life is good.
HTH,

Subject: something strange after my computer started


HI
I'm using windows xp professional service pack 2. After my computer started
I'm suppose to be on the desktop but if I press insert+t jaws remains
silent. If I then press insert+f1 jaws says: jaws may not recognize this
control. If I press tab then I'm on the desktop.
Jaws is only suppose to say this if I'm in an application which doesn't has standard controls, whose controls is custom. This cause no problem for me,
I'm just curious as to why jaws says: jaws may not recognize this control,
if I press insert+f1  just after my computer started after I find that
insert+t says nothing?
It seems as if jaws couldn't at that moment recognize that I'm on the
desktop so maybe it's a bug in jaws, but as I say this only  happens after
my computer started.
If my computer is booting up and then jaws says: jaws for windows is ready
and I hear the tune playing to let me know windows is up and running, then
after that tune played I wait a  moment for jaws to say that I'm on the
desktop, but then jaws says nothing and its then when I press insert+t that
jaws says nothing and if I then press insert+f1 jaws says: jaws may not
recognize this control.
If it is that no  window has focus, then jaws should rather say: no window
is active. But seemingly this is another type of non focus which jaws sees
as a custom control not defined in its window classes. Btw I'm using jaws7,
at this stage I can't afford jaws8.
