Sounds like your computer might be going to "sleep" rather than shutting down properly. Although I don't hear JAWS announce the name of the overlay window (if you do a window list keystroke command with shift-f10 you will find this), I do experience similar things from time to time. I don't think it's anything to worry about. Maybe try doing an actual restart (as in, using the restart option in the shutdown menu). This will ensure that anything that's gone off is reset, and any updates awaiting will be properly installed.

Normally when I turn the computer on I wait approximately 10 to 20 seconds and then Jaws will say "Jaws home use" and I'm ready to go. Yesterday, when I turned the computer on after about 5 or 10 seconds Jaws said "Jaws for windows, overlay windows zero, overlay windows zero, overlay windows zero". Then, after another 5 or 10 seconds Jaws said "Jaws home use" and I was ready to go. I've had this computer for almost four months and this has never happened. Has anybody experienced anything like this and is this something to be concerned about? Thanks for any input.
