Is there another shortcut somewhere on the system that may have that hotkey assignment?
HTH, Rick Justice Tomorrow's another day, another way! and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kimber Gardner" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, April 09, 2016 6:50 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Trouble assigning a hot key for jaws 17 I don't understand what you're saying. I have cleared the hotkey in the jaws 16 properties dialogue, deleted jaws 16 from my desktop, rebooted my machine and set the hotkey in the jaws 17 dialogue. Still when I perform the key combo control+alt+J, jaws 16 loads instead of jaws 17. I was able to set control+alt+7 as a hotkey to load jaws 17, but that doesn't really answer my question of why I can't reassign control+alt+j. I am out of ideas and will be calling FS for help on Monday. Thanks all for your assistance. I will let the list know what happens.
