Brian Thanks for the quick response, I do have VCTX_message, I made an error when typing it into my original message, sorry about that. I've also installed your playlist scripts recently which has created the dummy default.jss file and renamed the default.jsb to default_fs.jsb, could this stop the file from compiling if I added this script to the default.jss file as it now stands? I have to say I got a bit concerned when the install of your scripts performed a merge of some kind and now all versions of jaws on my PC have this dummy default.jss file instead of the full original one.
