They obviously don't know what their talking about.  I not only changed the 
JAWS start-up message on my computer to "Hi Gerald.  Jaws 9 is ready", but I 
also added a musical sound from the list of sounds in the Dictionary Manager.

  mine didn't work either.

  i contacted freedom scientific and the response i got back was that it was 
not a changeable part of the jaws system and if i wanted to have it an option 
in the future to be able to change it i should post a suggestion comment to 
them.

  regards.

        This has been covered already, but I'll repeat it anyway.  The easiest 
way to change the JAWS start-up message is to use the Dicttionary Manager.  
Follow these steps:
        1.  Go to the JAWS Utilities menu and select Dictionary Manager.
        2. Hit Space on the Add... dialog to select the Add Dictionary 
Definition dialog.
        3. In the Actual Word field, type "jaws for windows is ready." exactly 
as it appears in quotes.
        4. In the Replacement Word field, type the phrase you would like to 
hear instead.  For example, you could type in something like, "Hurray!! JAWS 10 
is good to go!!".
        5. If you wish, you can also add a sound to play along with the phrase 
by choosing a sound from the list of provided sounds.
        6. Tab to Okay and hit Space.
        7. Close the Dictionary Manager, and reply with Yes when prompted to 
save changes.  Now, whenever you turn on your computer or launch JAWS manually, 
you will hear the new phrase you just created instead of "JAWS for Windows is 
Ready".

                  hello list.

                   

                  does anyone know of a way to change what jaws says when 
windows xp starts?

                   

                  currently it says jaws for windows is ready.

                   

                  can this be changed to a statement of my choice?

                   

                  all help is appreciated.
