I lost my older message somewhere in the deleted items folder, so I guess I'll just have to reply here. I just tested the fallthrough application again, and this time I actually got jaws to say something before the program closed. It said, Can not execute, and then it gave me the path of the program and terminated it. Anyone know what's up with this? Is there some kind of block that stops command boxes from running in windows that can be removed somewhere? I remember I had this same problem with an old desktop a while back and could never figure it out there either. Apparently it isn't jaws, because it lasted a bit longer when I tried that NVDA screen reader, but it still terminated. Any ideas anyone? Sorry if this is getting a bit off topic of gaming, I'd just like to give this game another chance. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Niall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2007 7:12 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] An appreciation for Fallthru
