I think I ended up in the windows log on screen, am running Jaws 11 and XP home, I couldn't seem to get out from where I was as I had no speech Jaws had gone quiet, I did a combination of keys occasionally hearing an error beep eventually I worked out all I had to do was press the enter key straight away but because I had done a windows m the enter key didn't work initially. Can anyone help me with where I was exactly and if pressing all those keys I did wouldn't have caused me changing anything and what does me going to the windows log on screen do for me in XP home? in other words whats it for? and why does Jaws just go quiet? regards, Jim
