Hi, I just had to reformat my hard drive and reloaded Kurzweil (6.02) and latest builds of JAWS 8 and JAWS 10. I keep losing focus in Kurzweil, and JAWS and Kurzweil also talk simultaneously when this happens. I have looked at the advance options in the set options menu for the Kurzweil 1000.JCF configuration manager, and both "enable sleep mode" and "unload speech synthesizer " are checked. I use Windows XP and did not have this conflict in my system in the past. Any suggestions for fixing this problem? Thanks, Marla
