I doubt it, I use Jaws and XP and am not experiencing the notepad issue. I
just installed 16 updates last Thursday, some of them were likely the
updates you referenced. I do not use Windows Live Mail but I checked on my
XYL's Win 7 machine with Jaws latest update, and it appears to still work.
(It still has some idiosyncracies seemingly inherent to Windows Live and
screen readers).
But, if it just started happening, a system restore as Howard suggests could
be a solution. It may have been caused either by an update or some
mysterious setting change in your system.
