Wow. I thought dongles were more reliable than ILM. Obviously not.

Hi Dale, this is interesting. I have no answers for you or clues as to what occurred. I can tell you that I use the dongle with the authorization key on it. Over the last six weeks or so I have had four dongles suddenly lose their authorization update information. For example I had updated the dongles to Jaws 11 from JAWS 9. Suddenly and without any reason that I can re-produce the dongles were reset back to JAWS 9 and this was discovered by going into the dongle viewer under tools in the jJAWS submenu. I had updated to JAWS 11 cconifirmed this with the dongle viewer and days later I was suddenly into forty minute mode. After checking the dongle viewer I discovered the dongle reverted back to JAWS 9. This has occurred using a PC (XP) as well as using a laptop. The laptop was weird in that if I used the docking station I had full access JAWS 11. If I took the laptop off the docking station I had only forty minute mode and the dongle was not recognized. I unfortunately did not at that time check the authorization of the dongle via the dongle viewer while the laptop was in the docking station or when it was out of the docking station. The I did contact FS and we went through a few hours of tech support and we did check the dogle at that time and it did state JAWS 11 while in both states. The end result was it could not be figured out so I had the laptop re-built and re-installed JAWS 9. So all of this to let you know that weird things are happening with the Aughorization of JAWS and no one can seem to re-produce the problems or fix the problems if they have occurred. Yesterday I had a dongle that was updated to JAWS 11 last week and this week I had to update it to JAWS 11 as it some how lost its update information. Weird or what!!

Some changes of hardware or some of their settings? I was furious the other day, our power went off for several hours so I switched my notebook to power saving mode. this makes several changes including altered processor speed, monitor changes, several other time-out functions. Jaws decided it should have a holiday too disclaiming authorization and going into 40 minute demo mode. Since 1998 I have purchased four, maybe five complete Jaws versions between me, my wife and my job and several SMAs from version 2.02 through 9. I haven't bothered using the two allowed upgrades from Jaws 9 since I know how to use google and don't need research it. Between that and jaws locking up on many Web pages and other frustrations I am losing patience with this product. I understand that there are thieves out there but there are limits to how much one can be inconvenienced. Anyway, major changes to your equipment can make jaws think it isn't in the original computer and it seems to get homesick.

I am running JFW10 with Windows XP and Eloquence. Is it possible for me to change the volume of Jaws and leave the other items I am running, say Winamp, the same volume. If I have Winamp set to 100%, Jaws is very loud. Is there a way to lower the volume of Jaws without affecting the Winamp volume? Thanks.
