I use jaws on a virtual machine instead of logging into the server like everyone else. This is so they can keep jaws to just me and not be there for everyone else. Seems to work as if it was installed on a pc with remote desktop. I connect to this VM with remote access. Thanks, Jason

Hi Courtney, How about trying these simple things first, before repairing or re-installing Jaws: Try these one at a time, and see if the problem persists after taking each action. 1. Try unloading, then reloading Jaws . 2. Try re-booting the computer. 3. From the Jaws application window, open
