[Trainer-talk] Windows 7 questions

[Dr. Denise M Robinson]

Wayne
If you assigned ctrl+alt+J to jaws 12, then try and assign the same to 13,
it has issues at first. If you already deleted the jaws 12 with the icon
that had the hotkey, all you have to do is temp assign 13 with another
letter, start it, close it then reassign it to the ctrl+alt+j again and it
should work. It is the reassigning of another letter then going back to the
one you really want that seems to give it the kick it needs.
