This is a throwback to my old mainframe days. As I mentioned, this problem started occurring for me during March, 2010. I tried many things to resolve the problem, including updating from Jaws 9 to Jaws 10, with no success. On 9/1/2010, I removed Avast and installed MSE.

So my point, try installing the latest video intercept from FS and see what happens. I don't believe that it can hurt the situation.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Jaws not reading in google, update
Dan, Are you running the same version of Jaws on both computers? Did the problem occur simultaneously on both systems? Do you normally use Firefox or IE? I experienced the problem with both browsers. It is strange that this problem only ever happened to me on the Google search results page. That tells me that there is something in the HTML coding on that page that is Tripping up Jaws with respect to the way it interfaces with the browser. At this point, I am just keeping my fingers crossed that this problem does not reappear on my computer.

However, I have never had avast on either of my computers, and on my Windows 7 machine, the first JAWS installation was the latest build of JAWS 11, so the video intercept is the latest version. and, I have the latest version of MSE running on that box. I just checked on my XP box, and the video intercept is up to date. Sadly, your fix of removing avast and updating the video intercept is not going to fix my problem since I don't have avast, and have the latest video intercept. -- Blue skies.
