Carolyn, try this, if you can get it going at all. Maneuver over to the start menu, make sure JAWS is highlighted. Then use the kill command (I think it's the equivalent of Win-JAWS-F4) to really clear it out. Then, go the desktop (remember, you should now be focused on the JAWS start command) and load it again.
