Hi Richard, The context menu came up exactly as you described!! I changed it so that Jaws isn't running from the system tray.

Sorry if any of this has already been mentioned, I'm chiming in a lot late. Hopefully you chose laptop keyboard when Jaws was installed. If so, you should be able to use the caps lock in place of

If you have Jaws running from the system tray and you activate the Jaws shortcut on the desktop you should hear: JAWS Context Menu Run From Tray menu Options sub menu Then, if you arrow down

I don’t have a second insert key. This laptop doesn’t have a numbpad, it doesn’t even have home, end, or page up/down keys.

I just tried and it didn't say anything about the Jaws menu.

Hi, Madison. No. You have to be on the desktop to see the shortcut for JAWS. If you click that shortcut, your JAWS menu should come up. Bill White billwhite92701@...

Hi Bill, The checkbox is already checked, it said that it’s checked by default. Thanks for the suggestion anyway!!!

Hi, Madison. Do you have the following item checked in your JAWS settings, 1. Open JAWS settings, JAWS key plus six on the numbers row. 2. Select the Default JAWS configuration file with CONTROL

You get to the JAWS menu by pressing the actual INSERT key, even if CAPSLOCK is your JAWS key. Since his INSERT key doesn't work, he's up a creek, until he can figure out why his INSERT key doesn't

To avoid confusion, it might be best to just refer to it as the JAWS key -- it's the capslock key; it doesn't replace the insert key or turn into a new insert key.

Hi, I just press Insert+j. Another thing you can try is this: while on the desktop, press j until you get to your desired JAWS version, then press enter, pretending you want to start JAWS again.

 Do you have the 6 pack of keys somewhere on your keyboard with a second Insert key? If so what happens if you press this Insert key + J? If nothing happens, there's a setting in the Settings

So, how do you get to the Jaws menu, in the laptop keyboard layout? Richard, in the U.S. "You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from

I have my keyboard layout set to laptop, as that's the only way I have an insert key.

Oh snap. Well, there you go. They always say one should become familiar with the laptop layout even if not using a laptop or not using that layout on a regular basis and, this is part of the reason
