Tom,
I don't have a 590 but I have a suggestion. The next time you have your
friend over try exiting jfw and see if he can install and configure the
program. Then bring up jfw. Maybe there is a conflict with the
screenreader just with the install and configuration. This is just
something off the top of my head. I may be all wet here but it may be at
least a method of eliminating a few variables in the equation.
