Hee hee, It certainly isn't your fault! Also, NVDA and JAWS work pretty well together. It's just so odd that QWS was working great with JAWS until I downloaded the latest NVDA. *shrug*

Hi Gavin, Thanks very much for the fix, that worked. David, that's very strange. I always thought the two screen readers could coexist in harmony - they use two completely different reading methods after all. I appear to be mistaken and I can only apologise for causing you to put your system and/or QWS into a state of chaos. I really hope you can get it back to a state of normality. Cheers, Damien.
