One solution when this forms mode features locks you in is to tab until you are out of the field and then use the up or down arrow keys to get away from the forms mode field. If you go to a website where you know that JAWS is going to lock you up, go to the bottom of the page and scroll up on the page until you find what you are looking for.

The first problem I encountered was that every time I turned the wireless switch off, or turned the power to the CD/DVD drive off, JAWS would require a new activation code. I called Freedom Scientific Technical Support and a very nice lady explained to me that JAWS was using different locking codes when the computer was in the different physical states, and to rectify the problem that I would have to activate it using codes generated from FSActivate.com. So I activated in the three different states--internet and CD drive off, internet off but CD drive oon, and internet on and CD drive off...and for the most part, everything works. The problem I'm having now is that at times--for no apparent reason--I get a JAWS Error [6] telling me that "this feature is not licensed to run on this machine," and also a Microsoft Windows message saying that the application file for JAWS has stopped working. Usually, all I have to do is restart JAWS and I'm back in business...but it is rather annoying...and I was wondering what is causing this problem and if there is anything I can do about it? Another more annoying problem I am having concerns the Auto Forms Mode option. On my old computer, I could move in and out of form fields using Auto Forms Mode with no problem; with this machine, however, JAWS often gets stuck in forms mode and pressing the switch to PC Cursor command doesn't do anything. Has anyone experienced this problem before, and what can I do about it?
