I'm not sure how many programs you have open at once but this would explain why you sometimes get to jaws and other times get to Eudora. Buying a new computer with a new Windows won't fix this You might find insert+f10 to helep you here that brings up a task list with all programs you can switch between. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sarah L.
