Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS Not Starting At The Windows Log-in Screen, A Possible Fix
Hi Jorge, I'm going to speak only for Windows 7 & Jaws Basics. Your statement is not correct in my case, & that's why I had to search for another solution for why Jaws wasn't starting at the Windows log-in screen. In Jaws basics, & in the start-up wizard I had Jaws set to start at the log-in screen, but it wouldn't do it until I made the changes I spoke about earlier in msconfig. I now know that what I did in msconfig with Windows 7 cannot be done with Windows 8 & 10. To be quite honest, it surprised me that making the change I did in msconfig made the difference because I only made that change as an experiment! LOL Take care.

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.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS Not Starting At The Windows Log-in Screen, A Possible Fix
This doesn't work with Windows 10. In 10, when you get to that StartUp tab, you have to click on a link that takes you to Task Manager. In my 10, the items in the StartUp tab seem to be sorted by name; not the order of running. Also in my 10, I have an Enable/Disable button as opposed to a check/uncheck items. So, I'd have to do more research to determine the order in which the programs are loaded and how to change this order. I've done a Google search and can't find anything that tells me how to do it easily. Reed -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike B.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws 18 and outlook 2016 not getting along.
So, what kind of add-ins would Outlook have? To my knowledge I have never added anything to Outlook 2010. I have considered upgrading to 365 2016 but based on some things I read hesitate to do so, including the fact that I might lose all my contacts, completions etc. I would like to add my Google account but, Google tells me my e-mail client is too old, had it on until my disk drive died and everything was reconfigured by repair person. I get that mail via my iPhone but would prefer to be able to answer any of it on the computer.

Hello; Not sure if this will help, But it may be worth giving it a try. In case you need to troubleshoot Outlook, it is a good idea to load Outlook without loading any 3rd party Outlook add-ins. This article explains just how to do it. Among other culprits, Outlook add-ins are the usual suspect when Outlook runs slow or triggers unexpected errors. To determine if the installed add-ins are causing you problems, the easiest thing to do is to start Outlook with no add-ins. Outlook command line switch for add-ins In order to load Outlook without add-ins, you have to exit Outlook and type the following command in a RUN window or in a Windows command prompt: Outlook /safe:3 Please note that, while the above command will cause Outlook to load with no add-ins, the add-ins are still going to be displayed in the Add-in Manager window. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Matthew Dyer Sent: Sunday, January 15, 2017 11:59 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws 18 and outlook 2016 not getting a long.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS Not Starting At The Windows Log-in Screen, A Possible Fix
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.
