David: Your instructions for preventing Narrator from automatically starting when I boot my computer worked.
Thanks very much. I'm still seeing the magnifier automatically come up though, and don't know how to eliminate that issue. Also, I have now upgraded to the latest build of Jaws 18, and am finding that my failure to re-start at the login screen issue has re-appeared. I have the box checked to start the computer at the log-on screen, as well as the box checked to always start Jaws for this user. I wonder if the automatic activation of the magnifier is creating the failure of Jaws to consistently start. Someone on the list recently posted a detailed set of instructions for dealing with the inconsistent Jaws start issue at the logon screen, but I can't seem to find them in my saved files. Any help with this continuing issue would be appreciated.

Turn on Audio Description Hear descriptions of what's happening in videos (when available). Now when you boot the computer narrator should not come up. Statistics are like a bikini. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Behler Sent: Saturday, March 4, 2017 10:01 PM To: 'Jaws users list' <[email protected]> Subject: [JAWS-Users] How To Stop Narrator And Magnifier From Coming Up When Booting Up Computer Hello, everyone. I am experiencing a very strange problem when booting up my current windows 7 laptop. Whenever I boot up the computer, I often have to go through the process 2 or 3 times in order for Jaws to start speaking. And, when this happens, I now also automatically get launched into Narrator and something called the magnifier. The magnifier is set at 200%. I can exit out of the magnifier and out of Narrator, but this is rather inconvenient to say the least. How can I get things back to the point that, when booting up the computer, all that comes up is Jaws. I'm using Jaws 17 here.
