Hi, I just got jaws 11, and I use outlook express just fine, maybe it's the other program? good luck, I hope you can get it fixed. I know the hassel of not being able to get things done right, but like me, I've found this group to be very helpful thanks to everyone sugar Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.

By the Way I also just installed the New Avast 5. When I open OE it takes a while and often Jaws quits speaking, appears to happen most often wehn I interrupt the speech by hitting down arrow to read the next message in my inbox view. Any ideas?
