Gerald,
thanks. I just switched back to Jaws 9 and tried spyware Blaster again, and
it works as always. It's just as you say. No problem. I'll just use Jaws 9
to update it weekly or so. Well, it's a few keystrokes worth of
inconvenience, but whatever.
As for Super Anti Spyware, I think I was just in a big hurry and somewhat
distracted this morning, as friends were about to pick me up to go out for
breakfast. I think I just tabbed one too many times at some point and
accidentally interrupted the usual full scan, and then thought the program
was acting strange. When I was the one who was acting strange. So what's
new.
Thanks again.

Unfortunately, the scripts for Spyware Blaster do not work with JAWS 10, so
pressing Control-Shift-H will not bring up the list of functions. If you
want to use this program, you have to use JAWS 9 or earlier. Unless the SB
scripts are updated to make SB accessible with JAWS 10, you're out of luck.
As for Super Anti Spyware, I never had a problem with it using JAWS 10. I
always perform a complete scan, so maybe the problem you are experiencing
occurs only with the quick scan function. Be sure you are using the latest
version of SAS, which is 4.21.0.1004. .
