Chip, I  was also referring to  Freedom Scientific sitting with me on the
phone as I reproduced the issue.  The crashes are serious crashes.

I simply can choose to use MaGIC alone but   I had hoped for far far more
when I took the recommendation to  use the ATI Radion card.
David  is probably right that the issues complicate when one uses 2 software
programs for  blind  and visually impaired at once even if produced bythe
same company.
That is why I wrote so many letters to F S  asI wanted  the  issue to be
pinpointed right away.

Other than  using the ATI   card, I would bet that MAGIC and JAWS would
coexist quite well and work  together well.

I usedthe  oldL P Windows the predecessor of MAGIc and  worked with Zoomtext
a bit. I would say that MAGIC  is a good program and should work with jAWS
*normally* without problems.

MAGIC is very stable in and of itself.
