Hi folks. I am using Avast on two computers, and the latest version of jaws on both. The problem is, on one machine, jaws reads the Avast screen fine, but on the other, it does not. I'm probably missing something that is very simple here, but can't figure out what that is. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks vary much
