In addition, at least in my past experience, you first need to remove that hotkey from the previous version of JAWS, assuming you keep it on the system. Someone posted a while ago that creating a shortcut for a new version of JAWS makes the shortcut go away in the earlier one, but that was

When you say that the JAWS screen disappeared, it is because you have checked the Run JAWS from System Tray option in the Basic Settings dialog, which display JAWS as a background application icon on the system tray (right near the clock at the bottom of the screen) instead of as an opened

Hi Miriam, When you install a new version of Jaws you will have to put the hotkey back in again. So for example when Jaws 19 comes out you will have to put the hotkey back in again. Just remember that. Also if you go to the Jaws website and get a complete version of Jaws with an update and
