Hello,
I have both jaws activated 16 and 17 in my desktop,
Since, I had already set the jaws quick key before on J16, it carried over
to jaws 17.
There is no need to set it again.
The proof is in the pudding:
I shut of J17 and preform the quick key and it came back on.
Jorge

Likely there were two desktop icons for JAWS, and one was still active.

What's curious in Kimber's case is that after she's removed j from the JAWS
16 shortcut and confirmed that it's gone, control-alt -j still brings up
JAWS 16. I can't figure out why that would be.
On creation of the shortcut, which it sounds like Kimber knows what to do,
I'd add a little more. Assuming I'm want alt-control-j for JAWS 17, I'd do
as Mario suggests and type just j in the edit field. Then, instead of
pressing enter or tabbing to OK, I escape out of the dialog. For some
reason, this has been the surest way I've found for making the shortcut
stick.

Mario,
Yes, that's a good point. That way, the actual application is not invoked.

Kimber, in my experience, when you attempt to assign the hotkey using
the control+alt keys, just press the letter because control+alt is the
assumed modifier Windows believes you want to use plus the letter you
type. for example, you want to use control+alt+j as the hotkey to start
JAWS, just press the letter j when you get to the field to assign the
shortcut.
if you want to use a diferent combination, that's when you have to press
all the keys you want. for example, you want to use control+shift+j
instead, press all three keys to overide the default of control+alt+ the
letter of your choice.

Hi All,
I had control-alt-J assigned as my hotkey for jaws 16, but I wanted to
reassign it to jaws 17. I went into properties under jaws 16 and
deleted the key assignment, only each time I try assigning that key
combo to jaws 17 in the property dialogue, instead of assigning the
keystroke it starts up jaws 16.
When I open the property dialogue under 16, it shows no hotkey
assigned. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Kimber
