Hello, I'm seeing this issue on more than one computer and video type which leads me to believe it's something with jaws. I've tried 9 and 10, and am getting quite frustrated. I don't have jfw set to run before startup on some machines as they are used by sighted individuals as well, login is done in the blind. Jfw is set to come up in the user's startup group. The problem is occationally and the reason escapes me jfw either loses focus or has an issue with the offscreen model not updating itself. It won't read a status bar, contents of dialog boxes, the system tray insert+f11, contents of edit fields etc. Whenever a current line is done i hear blank, screen review same thing, just all blank. I was wondering if anyone had seen this behavior? Thanks. Dave.
