Hi,
Well, it happened again. I tried to do an end task in the processes
tab for JFW.exe, but that didn't make any difference and I still
could not bring Jaws back without doing a restart.
I need any other ideas what to do otherwise I will have to Join Mike
the next time he goes to see Dr. Phil! (Move out of the way, Mike)
Please help! Thanks. Take care.

Hi,`
Thanks for the suggestion. I will give that a try the next time it
happens. To be honest, I thought that I tried that and it didn't
make any difference. Maybe I didn't do the procedure correctly. I
will however try that again.
Take care.

hi Lennie, I've never had Jaws freeze after a hibernation wake
up. However, sometimes, jaws will freeze and can't be brought back
sometimes. What I do sometimes is, as long as I can get Nvda to
start, I will go to the task manager with control shift escape,
then control tabbing until I get to the processes tab, once in the
processes tab, tab once, and you should see a list of apps that are
running. hit the letter J and see if you see something like,
jfw.exe. That's Jaws that is running in the background. tab a
couple times until you see something like end task button. his the
spacebar and tab again to hit end task button a second time. that
is the confirmation to shut down a program. once you hit end task
button a second time, close the task manager with alt f4 and then
try turning jaws on again. Sometimes this works for me if Jaws
gets stuck in the background.
Let me know if you have any problems and I'll try my best to help.
Have a nice day.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws not talking after hibernation
Hi,
I think that I have a problem that does not occur all the time. I
am using Jaws12, window XP.
I usually shut off my desktop computer by putting it in
hibernation. I have been doing this for as long as I have XP operating system.
However, lately when I come out of hibernation, Jaws does not
respond. This does not happen all the time, but when it does, it
is disconcerting.
I start NV DA to try to figure out what is going on, but no luck.
I had my wife look at the monitor and nothing stands out.
I tried to kill Jaws with jawsKey+WindowKey+F4 (is that the
correct shortcut to kill Jaws) and I use my shortcut key to start
Jaws, but nothing happens.
So using NV DA, I restart my computer and as it is starting to
shutdown, Jaws suddenly wakes up! By then it is too late and I
have to wait for Jaws to come back when the computer is restarted.
Is there anything that I can do to get around this problem after I
come out of hibernation? Any suggestions or ideas will greatly be
appreciated. I don't want to have to do a complete shutdown each
time I get off my computer and keep doing restarts.
Thanks in advance and take care.
Lennie
