Hi Bruce,
Thanks for the heads up, but I believe this is the standard dialog which
pops up when you're not a Window-Eyes owner,and you're using GWConnect
as a freebie. It's a bug, or the GW Micro registration is acting up, or
GW has decided to charge us for GWConnect, Window-Eyes user or anyone
else. I think it's one or two, since we weren't warned about number
three. smile
Cheers,
Rod
