Thanks, Bruce, for your input. Perhaps, it's got something to do with the choices I make while installing the software for the product. If possible, I usually choose to install them using the, if available, "custom option". But, then, I often run into options that are over my head. I dislike appearing so ignorant. After all, I've used JAWS since the late 1980's. But, truth is truth.

I am wearing a Logitech headset right now, and it's working great, and I just gave Caroline a wireless Logitech headset which also works great. I am not discounting your experiences, Gene, but my experiences are that I have had better luck with Logitech products than any other brand.
