Not arrogant at all in  my view.

It's one of the many frustrations that we all face as we try to get our
adaptive technology to work, which can, at times, involve necessary
communication with the sighted world.

I find similar issues when referring to combo boxes, which many sighted
folks out there don't have a clue about regarding what the term refers to.

One of the many things that I hate about Jaws.
There is no "jaws key" on the keyboard.
I think the world calls it the "insert key".
Naming a key something else just creates a communications barrier between
jaws users and the rest of the world.
Its like the problem with the aplications key, context menu, and right
click.
All terms for the same function.
Communicating is difficult enough with out adding separate words for the
same thing.
arrogant?

John:

I don't know if this will help, but try the following.

Hit the windows key followed by  rjaws15.

If that gets you up and going again, I'd suggest that you set up the usual
alt control J Jaws shortcut for starting jaws if you somehow accidentally
exit out of it again sometime later on.

Let me know if this works.

The other thing you could try is a hard shut-down of the computer by holding
in  the on-off button.  Then, you could re-start your computer normally, and
hopefully, Jaws would come back to life.   However,  I would only take that
step as a very last resort.
