Wait, have you two Jaws, I don't understand you exactly as I want.

Very strange. Perhaps the "Start Jaws automatically" box in the basic options is turned on, while Jaws also has a shortcut in the startup folder in the start menu? This might lead to the computer trying to start it twice, normally it wouldn't let you but I've noticed if you time it right it is possible to have two instances of Jaws running at the same time. Very irritating.

If this was the case it might only happen sometimes, because I also noticed the order in which the computer starts things tends to vary a little from one time to the next. Only some boots would land the timing just right for that to happen.

yeah, it is quite annoying, especially when i have to keep restarting my computer every time it happenes

Wow, I'd still been using control alt delete all these years. Guess I must be a bit old school.

Lol nah I just never realised control shift escape was even there. While I didn't start using assistive tech until around 2000 I had been using computers well before, back as far as later versions of DOS.
