Dave:

I've done the alt control delete, and the task manager thing, and tried
ending the N3fJP task, but to no avail.

The laptop I use for ham radio logging is an older Windows XP machine, and
I'm using Jaws 14 with it.

I'm almost tempted to go back to an earlier version of Jaws on that machine
to see if the problem still occurs, but I hate to go through all that
trouble if it isn't necessary.

Hi Tom,

I've experienced the same problem at times.  One sure solution is to use
Control-Alt-Del to bring up the logout screen and then arrow down to task
manager.  Use it to close the N3FJP program.  I think Scott needs to address
the problem.

73,
