Hi Ann,
You may already know this, but I'll mention this for the benefit of others
on the list. In older versions of Windows, it was sufficient to check the
item for "start JAWS at the logon screen" and so on. In later versions,
including Windows 7, Windows 8 and 8.1, you can also elect to start JAWS
automatically after login for all users, so that would cover all profiles
that you use. I can't give you the rundown of what the dialog looks like
because I'm in front of my XP box at the moment. So, go back into basic
settings, go into the dialog pertaining to automatic startup, and check the
items that apply to you and I'm sure you'll be able to resolve this. In
addition to my own personal Windows 7 laptop, I run a computer lab with
twenty-odd machines with both JAWS 15 and 16, and they all come up talking
at the login and come up talking after login, too. Hope this helps. If not,
write me privately off-list and we'll see what we can do go get things
straightened out.
Best regards,
Tom

Subject: Jaws won't start automatically in windows 8.1
I am running Jfw15 with Windows 8.1. Jaws runs fine at the log on and lock
screens, but will not start automatically for either of my accounts, not my
admin or my standard account.
I know about the Automatically start Jaws settings in the Basics dialog,
and have checked them countless times. They are set correctly.
It's not a problem to run it manually, but it is more of a very very
annoying inconvenience. I also notice that neither the latest versions of
NVDA nor Window-Eyes has this problem, and both auto start just fine.
So Does anyone have any suggestions? Could the Windows 8.1 UAC be
interfering somehow?
Thanks.
~~Ann
