Well, I'm glad it worked for you, because it sure as hell wouldn't work for
me. I'm wondering why it is that it didn't work with 6.1 when it worked
with 6.0? Did FS make some other kind of change that may work on some
systems but not others? I'm really not desperately needing to use JAWS 6.1
for anything, i mean 6.0 works just fine for me and does absolutely
everything I need to do so I'm not mad about that, but I'm just trying to
figure out what the cause of it might be and if there's a fix.
