Hi.
Honestly there is nothing to be scared about shutting down Jaws to play
games. All you really need to do is make sure your screen reader, Jaws,
icon as an associated hot key such as alt+control+j to relaunch Jaws
when the game is finished.
As for why you need to put screen readers to sleep or to shut down there
is a technical reason behind it. In short Some game developers such as
myself use a program called DirectX by Microsoft which is used for
handling game devices for games. Problem is when using DirectX to handle
the keyboard for example the game and Jaws wants to have control of the
keyboard, and ends up locking up the keyboard.
the end solution is to have one or the other loaded at a time and not both.
