This particular method,will only work if there aren't any other items on the start menu that start with R. Instead of pressing the letter R after the Windows key, use the two as a combination. Windows key + the letter R,is the hotkey for the run dialogue.

Janelle, What I find the easiest is to simply use the run dialogue box. I have found that sometimes depending on the status of your computer at any given moment shortcut keys sometimes fail. Here's how to use the run command line I mention above: 1. pres the Windows key 2 hit the R key to bring up the run command line 3 type JAWSx, where x is the version of JAWS you want to start. Remember there are no spaces between the word JAWS and your version number. for instance, if you are using version 10 all you would type is JAWS10. I really like this feature that Freedom Scientific built in several versions ago. Try shutting JAWS down and opening it this way.
