My wife uses Thunderbird. Suddenly a couple of weeks ago, it would not accept the password for the outgoing server. After a few attempts at getting it to accept the password, I attempted to roll

Hi All, You can try assigning the shortcut keystroke from a different Jaws icon, and I believe it will solve anyone's disappearing keystroke problem. I assign my pin to Taskbar shortcut and any

I understood that without the explanation.

I like the hotkey for the current version of JAWS. I'll only run the JAWS from the Run Command if I need to use a specific feature in an older version. At the end of the day the latest JAWS meets my

Yeah this is definitely something we've all been over ont eh list before, but it's why I usually try to say "jaws key" or "screen-reader key".

I think that's what Glen and I were trying to tell *you* lol

Hi Maria, not me. I find loading and unloading a screen reader is easier using shortcuts. Paul

The desktop icon is just a shortcut. It will not uninstall the older version of JAWS.

Hi. I think a problem with having a hot key automatically installed for JAWS is the different versions on a PC could be confused. I can picture someone invoking a version of JAWS, doing a lot of

I also often do this, especially if I need to see if something is working better under a different JAWS version.

Removing the icon from the desktop is not removing the program. It's just a shortcut. Glenn

But keeping an older version of JAWS is sometimes handy. Such as a discontinued feature or your current version goes screwy. I don't call that making things complicated? Paul

I've been using JAWS for windows for quite some time and not once do I remember instalation automaticallys etting up a hotkey; I had to do it myself. I currently don't even bother with a jaws hotkey,

Or, you know, just delete the jaws 2020 desktop shortcut before you install j2021. Or assign it a different hotkey before you install. Gosh, people make things seem so much complicated than they are

They dropped it earlier than that. The trouble was if you have say CTRL+ALT+J setup on JAWS 2020 and upgraded to 2021, the shortcut CTRL+ALT+J would open JAWS 2020 not 2021. To make it open JAWS 2021,

Hi all, It is easy to load and unload both screen readers once you have them setup correctly. By default both JAWS and NVDA have a keyboard shortcut to shut them down: JAWS: Insert + F4 NVDA:

Boy, you had me worried there, I have already been wrong twice this year and it's only just August! Had I been wrong with this there would have been no more room if I wanted to end this year with no
