Hi All,
For those of you having Jaws focus issues. Are any of you running a program
named Autosizer? If you are, Autosizer has been known to cause focus issues
from time to time. If you are running Autosizer, try uninstalling &
reinstalling the program. If the problem is Autosizer this is the only way
to correct / diagnose the issue if using Autosizer. Also, what does CMOS
stand for? Thanks much, take care.
Mike

great idea.
