Hi Dave, This is a problem that I also experience with 4.2. Jaws keeps losing focus of the contact list. The only way I'm able to get it back is to hit control-1. I wonder if the pop up ads from Skype about buying headsets and making calls causes it to lose focus. For sighted users this version is probably fine. For blind users it's a royal headache.

Is this also the solution for regaining access to the contact list in 4.2? I read the information on the scripts page, but since the user previously used 3.8, they find it handy to have conversations each in a separate window. No matter what I tried, I could not get access to the contact list. It just says new search, contacts, groups and conversations and to." I poked around with various forms of navigation including the Jaws cursor, but could find no mention of all contacts. In the view menu, contacts was checked, but it did little good. Guessing the best solution here is to uninstall 4.2 and install 4.1. Also the check marks for sounds were not read, so had to guess at them. Fortunately when tested, all events worked as desired. They apologised for putting me to trouble, but really, when there are people that could be asked, I don't know why they don't do it. It offered an upgrade, so she blindly took it, including the stupid Google Chrome, which I hopefully did successfully get removed.
