I don't know if this will work in JAWS 4.5, but you can give it a try.

Press Windows key+M to minimize all applications, and focus JAWS on the
desktop.

Press Tab until you hear JAWS announce Start, or something like that.

Now press Enter to open the start menu.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Start menu problem

Hey Gang,
My friend needs your help on this problem.
Thanks for your help.
Patti

I have a question I'm hoping you might help me with.
I'm still stuck with JAWS 4.51, IE 6 and windows 2000.
Most of the time my start menu won't open using the windows key. It just
says "start button; press enter to open" but will not open anything.  I know
that programs is the second P on this menu but pressing P twice and entering
does nothing.  Luckily, if I want to shut down the computer/or restart, if I
arrow up once and enter, it does bring up that box. 
If you have any suggestions, I'd sure appreciate them.
Thanks for your time.
