Something else that can be tried is to remove the current JAWS icon from the desktop and then replace it from the start menu. Then you can try the steps listed in the message below this one. I don't know why, but that worked for me when troubleshooting this issue on someone else's computer.

Go to jaws, but don't open it, press the application key/shift +F10. Down arrow to Properties and enter or just press R. Then, just follow the menu using the tab key When you are done setting it up don't forget to use the apply then the ok button. The quick key command should be control + alt J or if you press control + J only for some reason the alt is automatically entered for you.

When you attempt to set up the hot key, do not shift+tab back while doing it. Just go forward with the tab key. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donnie Parrett" <[email protected]> To: "JAWS-Users" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2013 2:18 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS Fails To Restart >I am running JAWS 14 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine.
