I've tried it. It's my understanding that if I then repeat it, Jaws will come back. It doesn't. I think I've tried my hot keys for Jaws after doing it, but that doesn't work either.

This is supposed to kill jaws and create a log which will be sent to VFO the next time jfw is restarted. This usually works for me and thre crashes are rarr. HTH.

Likewise, I have the latest JAWS 18 with Windows 7 and a 64 bit system. Short of rebooting the system, applying the hot key sequence I have assigned to JAWS 18 will sometimes return speech but it's all guesswork and when the hot key fails to return speech, I am forced to restart the system. Lastly, it seems to happen when tabbing away from an open web site but beyond this pattern, I remain puzzled by this annoyance.

Jaws 18, Windows 7 . Office 365, 64 bit computer. None of the key strokes that have been suggested, appear to work. I go to the desktop and wait. Nothing happens. If I press the power button lightly, just before the computer turns off, Jaws starts to talk. But I can't, at that point, stop the computer from turning off. It just happened to me again. Very frustrating! Is this happening to anyone else? What do you do when it happens?
