Hi Damon,
DCM is Display Chain Management. It was developed by GW Micro, so that
screen access software could co-exist. If you have JAWS 6.2, then you have
the latest version of DCM for JAWS installed by default.
All the best

what is DCM? I'm displaying my total lack of ignorance on the list just in
case it's useful to other people. Be thankful everybody out there!
Is this to do with the new way that screen capturing started to happen?
I should also add to this thread that I am having immense problems with
Brian Hargen's iTunes scripts. I've spoken to Brian about this. The problem
is because my computer is rendering iTunes software in completely different
colours to those that the scripts work with. I've upgraded my video drivers
(thank you George Bell by the way) and I've reinstalled but it's still
showing up as the wrong colours (black on white instead of some steely
silvery colour if I remember correctly).
So I think that there is generally something going on with my machine at a
basic level ...
Anyone? Please? It is seriously doing my head in and, yes, a new PC could
well be on the cards. I'm not all that keen on buying a new PC before Vista
comes out tho so this is just giving me double annoyance pressure.
...Damon
