Hi Allen,


Yes that is the problem I have as well.  Please you or Jim tell me why
this 
is a windows problem?

hi Rick,

Actually, this is a problem to do with the windows. I also have the same
problem, sometime I may need to press arrow left and right several time
to get the correct icon that I'm looking for. Another problem is,
sometime when jaws announce an icon, for instants "jaws", when I try to
press on it, it's actually another icon maybe msn or others.
