Hi Tom, >From what I understand from what you've said describes Jaws not starting at all, & you having to type jaws17 into the Run dialog to get it started.
What I'm talking about in my steps is Jaws starting , but not when it's assigned to start, at the log-in screen. Before I did the steps I posted Jaws would start, but not until Windows & a couple of other programs had started. After doing those steps Jaws starts at the Windows log-in screen very reliably, instead of after Windows is totally booted up. Take care.

Is this more detailed procedure more reliable than what I have been doing?

I pressed the tab button and still did not find any programs list for start up. Any other suggestions? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Mike B.

For those of you that have Jaws set to start at the Windows log-in screen, but it doesn't, this might work for you. I looked in, msconfig, & found that JAWS Freedom Scientific wasn't at the top of the list on the Start-up Page / Tab, so this is what I did. 1. Press, Windows key + R, to open the run dialog. 2. Type, *msconfig*, without the stars, & press enter. 3. Press, control + tab, until you get to the, Start-up Page / Tab. 4. I arrowed down the list, & unchecked any items above, JAWS Freedom Scientific, on the Start-up Page / Tab. Note: Only uncheck the items / programs above JAWS Freedom Scientific, & nothing else. Pay close attention to what you uncheck because you are going to recheck these items / programs shortly. 5. Tab to the, Okay, button, press the spacebar, & tab 1 time to, Restart, & press enter to restart your computer. 6. Once your computer is booted up repeat steps 1 thru 3, & you will notice that JAWS Freedom Scientific is now at the top of the list. 7. Now, arrow down the list of items / programs on the Start-up Page / Tab, check the items / programs that you unchecked previously, & repeat step #5. Now Jaws should start on the Windows log-in screen when your computer starts. I did the above steps on 4 different computers, both desktop & lattop, &I'm not going to say it works everytime, but it sure works most of the time, which I can say is a damn site better than before I followed the above steps.
