Andre,
I am uncertain why you had to reboot to get Jaws to speak again. I am
still using a 32 bit version of Windows, but I would have guessed that your
control-alt-j hotkey would have worked.
At any rate I have pasted a copy of the batch file that I use to backup my
computer.
It may help you with what you are trying to accomplish. If it does not,
well no harm, no foul.
/*
@echo off
rem kill / start jaws
:_begin
if /i "%1%" EQU "K" goto _kill
if /i "%1%" EQU "/K" goto _kill
if /i "%1%" EQU "S" goto _start
if /i "%1%" EQU "/S" goto _start
if /i "%1%" EQU "/?" goto _help
goto _help
:_kill
rem stop jaws 11
"C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\Runtime JAWS\11.0\JFWKill.exe"
goto _end
:_start
rem start jaws 11
"C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\11.0\jfw.exe"
goto _end
:_help
echo Jaws [ /k /s ]
echo where /k = kill / unload jaws
echo /s = start or restart jaws
echo .
:_end
cd \
*/
The batch file is currently setup for Jaws 11 on Windows 32.
I am not sure that the paths are the same in Windows 64.

TJ. Just tried what you suggested below and running those files certainly
kills jaws. The problem is that it shuts it down and never brings it back.
My new question should thus be, how do I shut down jaws without killing
it?
(smile).
To be specific, after hitting enter on the kill jaws file you suggested I
hit my jaws hotkey but I couldn't hear any sound. I launched narrator and
noticed there was a jaws entry in the task manger. I got rid of it, but
when
I hit my jaws key once again jaws would still not come up. I had to reboot
to get sound back.
There has to be a better way. I'll keep looking. Thanks for the help. I
didn't know about this command. By the way, I tried this on a Windows 7 64
bit home premium Dell.

Hello,
Here is one of the ways that I shut down Jaws:
::begin:
"C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\Runtime JAWS\11.0\JFWKill.exe"
You have to replace the "11.0" with your version of Jaws.
Example replayce "11.0" with "12.0" for Jaws version 12:
"C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\Runtime JAWS\12.0\JFWKill.exe"

I'm looking for as many ways as possible for unloading jaws. I know I can
use Insert+F4, but is there another way? In particular, I'm looking for a
way of unloading jaws using the run dialogue. I'd really like some input
on
this so please help a brotha out. (Smile).
Thanks,
Andre
