I have had a similar problem with Magic (or Zoom Text) and Jaws. We have a
client who uses screen magnification on a regular basis but would also like
to have Jaws on occasion. The client has to shut down Magic and start Jaws
then restart Magic. Both work ok together after this point.
Hmmm, interesting...

Subject: Re: Zoomtext/Powerplay Problem
Tbaks to Peter for his suggestions but it turns out my client appears to
have
resolved the problem himself. His PC is set up to boot up with Zoomtext.
He
merely closed Zoomtext, fired up Powerplay, and then opend Zoomtext and
VOILA!
I'm wondering why one of my technicians never thought of that.

Hi Peter,
What level and version of ZoomText is running?
What is PowerPlay for an application?
Did you try to disable MSAA support in the ZoomText Xtra profiler?
Did you contact AiSquared support at [log in to unmask]
Regards Peter Verhoeven
