Victor, Thanks for your concern, but I assure you I have no viruses or spyware on any of my PC's. As I stated in a previous message, it was several years ago that Real Player would take over as default and only a time or two that WMP did it after installation and that was in earlier versions. That is when I started using Winamp Agent and as I said, it hasn't been a problem with either Jaws or Windoweyes, so I have continued to use it.

In all the time I have ever used Winamp, well over 8 years, Windows Media Player has never taken over the playing of my media unless I tell it to. For example, I have Winamp set to play audio files and CD's, but I let Windows Media player set to play video files at all times. This is my preference, since I find Winamp pretty bad at playing video files, not to mention, and to bring this back on topic, I find the video controls for Windows Media Player to be more accessible with Jaws. I have tried playing videos with Winamp, and while I could hear the audio, my wife, who is sighted, could not see the video portion of the file, so I've kept this setting ever since. Suffice it to say, I have never had my audio files hijacked by Windows Media Player since I've used Winamp. Wish I could say the same for Internet Explorer, but glad I can say it for Winamp. Might this hijacking you are talking about be the result of some possible viruses or spam, or even spyware that you may not be aware of? Like I said, I find it strange that your audio files would be hijacked by WMP. I guess the caveat could be that I am a one of a kind user who has never experienced this, and welcome any comments from others who have experienced this phenomenon.
