Hi All, Thanks for all your suggestions. Well, I tried power options and FS
also checked to see that they were set to "never". I'm not sure this is a
JAWS issue, though, but when I leave the computer for awhile, it just stays
where it is. Yesterday, A friend came to see if she could help. When she
tried to use the mouse, it, too, didn't work. We had to turn it off in order
for her to use the mouse. Today, I did what FS suggested, leave narrator
running to see if it was still there. It wasn't. Neither was NVDA. When this
happens the screen is dark, but my friend could see that the computer was
on. This is a brand new computer with Windows 7 and I don't have any idea
what I can do next. I'll give FS another try to see if anyone can come up
with a solution or a suggestion. I'm wondering if it's a Windows issue.
Again, thanks to all who responded.
Jo

Joe,
When you leave the computer, is your computer going to sleep? if that's
the case, when you come back to the computer, jaws wouldn't speak unless
you woke your computer up. Go into power management, and set your computer
the way you want, so that it doesn't go to sleek. For me, I set that to
never, so my computer doesn't go to sleep or shut down, until I tell it
too. Just a thought. Jim

Hi All, For some time now, I've been having a problem with JAWS and
windows 7. JAWS would be fine for a time, but for no reason, would no
longer speak. Whenever I left the computer for a while, I would get no
speech no matter what I did; so I just turned off the computer. FS worked
with me, but after three tries, it still remains the same. I uninstalled
JAWS and then reinstalled it again. Now, I can't get it to come up no
matter what I do. I installed NVDA which is somewhat helpful, but because
I'm not too familiar with that program, I'm not getting anywhere. What is
the correct setting for AUTOMATICALLY START JAWS? I've tried all
combinations with the buttons, but no luck so far. Any help will be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Jo
