Hi Dark, In Jaws you can go into the config manager, I think it is called settings manager now, and configure Jaws to sleep when a certain game or application has focus. So if you were in Tank Commander you could configure Jaws to sleep while Tank Commander has focus but the moment you switch to Notepad, Thunderbird, or some other application Jaws will wake up. Its not really a big deal. Just requires a little knowledge how to create custom settings for specific applications.
