Sometimes when you're using your computer, you need to do a little bit of troubleshooting to determine if maybe a setting you changed is causing the issue that you're facing. As we all know, software isn't perfect, but there are ways to determine if what we've done is causing some of the weirdness. The first place I start is by setting my software to factory defaults, and jaws allows you to quickly toggle your settings back to the factory defaults. So you can see if a setting you changed is impacting your experience. Let me demonstrate this to you. I've sped my jaws up really fast.

This is a good step to use when you're trying to troubleshoot what's going on and why can't I do something that I'm trying to do? Or why is an application not working as anticipated? It could be that that application, website, or tool is not accessible, but if you'd like to see if it's a setting, you change jaws key space followed by z space. We'll toggle your jaws default settings on or off.
