Hi List,

I have recently noticed JAWS 17 behaving strangely when I startup my 
Windows 7 desktop. JAWS comes on as usual for the logon screen, but then 
goes silent after I type in my password and press ENTER. It then remains 
silent for at least 30 seconds before reannouncing itself as if it had 
been unloaded and reloaded.

Also, once I then go and open Mozilla Thunderbird and try to compose a 
message, JAWS seems to repeatedly lose focus and I cannot get it to read 
back anything I have typed. I find I have to ALT TAB over to a different 
application or the desktop and then switch back to get JAWS to refocus 
on the message body. But, that focus is temporary and JAWS soon loses 
focus again. This only seems to happen the first time I run Thunderbird 
after startup. If I use the program again at a later time this issue 
seems to go away. However, I am composing this message using Notepad 
because trying to do so in Thunderbird is infuriating and I will copy & 
paste this text into the message body.

Two things that have happened recently on my computer are:

1. I recently installed NVDA on my computer, although it does not load 
at startup (At least, I don't think so.)

2. As described in my recent posts to this list, my Thunderbird Inbox 
did suffer some damage and had to be repaired.

Thoughts, anyone?

Thanks,
Duane
