That usually happens to me after some kind of accident. Windows is busy repairing and reconfiguring itself, after a bad shutdown.

I got a slight scare earlier this morning. I restarted the computer and there was no JAWS starting up. NVDA started up on the login screen but then went silent. JAWS finally came on. My question is, is there anyway to get it to come on quicker? Honestly, I could have drank a cup of coffee waiting for JAWS to start speaking.

Re: Driver update utility which is useable with JAWS

Hello there, it's probably best to go to the manufacturer's web site,

For any drivers, Also, did you check in the device manager to see if the video drivers are there? Is it possible that the screen is not functioning? If you installed windows the generic drivers should have been installed. Statistics are like a bikini. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.

Re: Driver update utility which is useable with JAWS

Hi dave,
rather than using third party utilities to get the job done, i’d go for the
manufacturer’s website to find drivers for said laptop model.
I am sure Toshiba’s site will have a service and download part where you
can enter model numbers to get the latest software for your model.

Re: Speeding up the JAWS starting time?
Les Kriegler <kriegler@...>
Well, I've noticed it takes Jaws a lot longer to generate speech than was the case even in recent times. I sometimes load Jaws with a shortcut key, and this is where I notice the delay. I'd say it takes at least 10 seconds before I hear speech.

I have the latest version of Skype, the auto update gave me a new version a few days ago. I am running JAWS 17, latest version, and Windows 10 with all the latest updates.
I have an important Skype call coming up as soon as Friday, and I was wondering if there is a JAWS accessible way of recording the call, including the video of the other participants, and play it back? If there is a non-accessible way that involves a sighted person clicking something, please let me know that as well and I will make the necessary arrangements to have someone here to do that. Lastly, can I set up Skype to record all calls without me having to manually start each time? Please advise, and much thanks.

person in question uses JAWS to access Dropbox.
