Just tab through and make the hot key, without going back over it, and not hitting the Apply button; or, use narrator while making the hot key.

I had the short cut key control alt J for Jaws 7.0 and control alt K for Jaws 6.20. I am going to install Jaws 8.0 and so thought I would change the Jaws 7.0 hotkey to control alt K instead of Jaws 6.20. I always like to have my old version of Jaws as a back-up, incase I have problems with the new version. I lost my Jaws 7.0 hotkey of control alt J when I did a repair of Jaws recently. I therefore did the following procedure to reassign the new order of hotkeys I want. I selected Jaws 6.20 on the desktop. I then pressed applications. I arrowed up to properties and went into it. I tabbed across to the create hotkey section(or whatever it was called). I deleted the current hotkey of control alt K. I heard Jaws say something about "none". I tabbed to the okay button and pressed spacebar. I went back to the desktop and selected Jaws 7.0. I then followed the above procedure. However, instead of deleting the hotkey(there wasn't one to delete anyway), I typed the letter K. I tabbed and shifted tab back to make sure it had taken. I heard Jaws say Hotkey "control alt K". I tabbed to okay and hit spacebar. However, when I unloaded Jaws 7.0 and pressed the hotkey "control alt K", nothing happened. Jaws didn't come up speaking. I had to reboot in order to get Jaws 7.0 up again. Have I done something wrong here?
