Hi Joe! Well, I have turned off “fast startup” but that has not fixed it. This was suggested by FS. Thanks, Richard

Thanks Dan, I am having to do the hot key thing presently too until I resolve this issue. I am glad to hear, though, that it is not just me!

Hi Sieghard! Yes, I looked there and it says that the application file for JAWS is “on.” Is there anywhere else that I should look? Thanks, Richard
