Hi I've never got Windows Media working propperly with JAWS 4.51, I can't seem to access any of the buttons. I tend to use Realplayer and although it isn't perfect it's just about usable. I have noticed some strange things happening with the microsoft Active Accessibility, sometimes when MSAA is communicating directly with the screen reader it causes JAWS to read controls differently to how it would behave by default. There are also a few prompts that seem to have been written using both lower and upper case letters in the same word, so you have to be careful with the 'Mixed Case Processing' option in JAWS configuration Manager.
