Hi all, The big difference between Jaws and other screen readers is that Freedom Scientific sets a special keyboard hook that is incompatible with other input APIs such as Microsoft's DirectX. Therefore in order to make Jaws cooperate it is often necessary to unload Jaws or at the very least put it to sleep so the Jaws keyboard hook doesn't interfere with game operations. NVDA, Window-Eyes, and Supernova don't have this sort of hook so one usually need not worry about experiencing the same issue with games. That is why users of say Window-Eyes have less troubles in this area than do Jaws users.
