Hi Reed, Give this a try, it always work for me, When you boot up your computer do nothing other then pressing the "space bar" it says password edit 99% of the times, when jaws doesn't see the password edit field. If that didn't work try hitting "shift plus F8" those 2 ways work if jaws is running. If not that means their is a problem with jaws starting on the logon screen.
