I had the person who helped me set all this up, set up a hot key for Jaws, I thought, and that hot key doesn't work. But if insert, windows, F4, will do the whole hob, then I would need the hot key?

I wrote down to press Jaws key plus windows key plus F4 and this turns off Jaws. And if I press these keys again, they act as a toggle. Am I supposed to press them simultaneously? When I press them the first time, I can see with my hugely magnified Magic that the screen changes. But I haven't gotten Jaws to restart with those keys or with any others. I am having to resort to turning the computer off with the button and then turning it on again. Even though I can see that I've moved to the screen that says, "Shut Down", the key strokes don't work. But, after I press the button, just before the screen changes, Jaws says something, but then the computer shuts down. I have a 64 bit windows 7 computer. I'd sell my soul for a key stroke that would just get Jaws working again without having to shut down the computer and wait for it to start and load.
