Hi Rosemarie Ok, here's the really simple way of solving this vexing little problem, I just joined the list today but I've been following this thread in hopes that I could be of some help. This is very easy.
1. go to your desktop with windows key plus m, and then press the letter j until you hear JAWS 4.51, that's the desktop shortcut which, when you press enter on it will start JAWS 4.51. 2. Now, if you're running JAWS 5 at the time that you do this, what you'll need to do is shut down JAWS 5.0, restart 4.51 and make sure that the automatically start JAWS check box is not checked. If you uncheck the box and press the ok button you'll be asked to confirm this, so press ok. Now, shut down version 4.51 and if you have a hot key set up for vversion 5.0, restart that, and then make sure that the automatically start check box *is* checked. basically we're telling JAWS 4.51 not to run when windows starts, but we are telling 5.0 to run at startup. Actually, if I remember correctly this should happen automatically, but if you didn't install JAWS yourself, it's entirely possible that the person who installed it turned off the automatically start JAWS option. so turn that option off for 4.51 and turn it on for version 5. I do hope that makes some kind of sense and that I've been of some kind of help. At 12:33 AM 10/5/2007, you wrote: >Hi, Jason. I tried the suggestion but jaws 4.51 still comes up.
