Messagehi tim
when i say jaws is turned off, i mean that i am on my account which runs jaws 
at startup, so i can work on the system.
then when a sighted person wants to work, i leave my account active and just 
use alt and f4, then ok to close jaws .

  Hi,

  When you say jaws is turned off, have you  unloaded it using  the jawsky + f4 
 keystroke?

  Have you then closed and re-opened the web browser?

    hi folks

    when jaws is switched off for the sake of other family members I am told 
that they cannot type in a form field or edit box.
    when jaws is on I can use the space bar to turn on forms mode but I am told 
that what I type is not visible and also if make a mistake typing in lets say a 
username or password and press backspace to correct the computer jumps forward 
a page on the webpage.

    this problem is also relevant when I try to create a new account on the pc, 
I can niter the form field to give the new account a name but nothing is 
visible when I as in a flashing cursor and I cannot type in either with jaws on 
or off.
    any ideas
    help appreciated.
    regards
    Paul h
