Hi Gary and all,
Well folks, if any of you have the NVDA screen reader, try all the n3fjp software with that, and let us know how it works with that!

Tom,
My girlfriend, who is also a ham and is not sight impaired, also
participated in the QSO Party and used the same logging program. She didn't
have any problems. So it has to be some type of conflict with JAWS and
N3FJP State logging software. I have no problems like that when I use
N3FJP's AC Log.

First of all, congrats on a great effort in the Mississippi QSO Party!
Your score in six hours of operating time is truly something to be proud of!
Regarding the N3FJP software, I have experienced both of the problems you
mention here. I have experienced them both with my older Windows XP laptop,
and with my new Windows 7 laptop.
Someone on the list was trying to develop a solution to the problem of the
first letter not being entered when typing into the various data fields, but
I don't know how that effort has progressed.
Regarding the second problem of the contact info not always being logged
when hitting the "enter" key, my solution has always been to hit the enter
key again, after which time, the new entry usually is accepted. In other
words, you should not have to go back and re-enter the contact info.
These appear to be minor glitches with the N3FJP software. Scott Davis
(N3FJP) himself is aware of them, although he seems unable to suggest a
truly workable fix. Sometimes, I wonder if these glitches are being caused
by some sort of a Jaws conflict.
Anyway, you are not alone here, and I think it's terrific that you got the
great score that you did, despite those nuissance-type problems.
