Sure. Now, I could just navigate, using the JAWS cursor, what I'm writing. I can also read back what I'm writing in this edit field. If I unload and reload JAWS, however, I can do none of this. This is why I think it's a video intercept issue, as the video intercept driver intercepts text being sent from the graphics card to the computer.

Chris,

I am sorry that I don't know enough about this sort of thing to offer you
any advice, but I do hope you can tell me something. I don't know anything
at all about the phrase "video intercept," though I vaguely remember it has
something to do with how jaws picks up information from coding and renders
it into speech. But I'm just saying that. I think it's obvious that I don't
get what's going on with this thing at all.

That confession made, may I ask how you know there's a video intercept
problem that you're now troubled by? By which I mean, how does it manifest
itself? This is not a sophisticated question requiring complicated
discussion. I am simply asking if you wouldn't mind describing what goes
wrong for you when you use Jaws after exiting it and restarting it, without rebooting the system, as you say? What happens that's wrong? And what about
this tells you it's a video intercept issue?

again, I'm looking for basic education. Not arguing about anything. Hope
that's clear. And sorry about the hassle you're having.

Hello all,
I'm using the latest JAWS 10 running under Windows XP Home Edition SP3. The computer is a Dell Dimention DIM2400 desktop PC which is owned by my father
for all of us to use. The problem is that JAWS works as expected, however
when I unload and reload, JAWS behaves as if no video intercept was
installed and will behave this way until I restart the PC. I looked at the
video intercept information, and all appears to be well. Does anyone know
what's going on here? If this helps I'm using a guest account rather than my
own administrative account.
Please advise.
Thanks.
