Dear Jackie and Frank, Thank you so much. That article was exactly the trick. It worked, and it was easy to follow, since the registry is something that scares me. My problem has been solved, and I am truly grateful. With gratitude and kind regards, Melissa

The thing that makes it tough is that it occurred approximately the same time as jaws 12, but, truth be told, it could also have occurred because of a program being updated of which u were unaware. Since I'm new to this list & have no desire to try combing thru the archives to find what you've posted previously (sorry, just don't have the time), then I'm going to suggest that u check the tools > options > security tab in outlook & that u also check your antivirus settings. In addition, if this is your work computer, e.g., u r not its admin, then u also need to check w/your system administrator to see if settings have been changed there. Additionally, if u have firewall software installed, then possibly this may also be the cause--& note that this can include a firewall in your router. I really do wonder if perchance an update to Outlook's security settings is what might have caused your difficulty. The fact that u installed Jaws 12 at or around the same time may well be purely coincidental in this case, but it sure can be enough to throw one off, can't it? Gl w/that.
