Baret, Indeed its not exclusive to jaws, as a matter a fact people over on another screen reader mailing list had the same issue and it might have nothing to do with screen readers period.. I remember reading about the K-Lite codec stuff as well but as of now the only thing that worked for me was to uncheck the preview pane. If you get it working, please report back so we all can put it in our notes!

I was being troubled with this, time & again,yesterday, I went ahead & downloaded & installed the latest versions of these codec packs & the life seems to be a bit easy this morning but as these codecs become old, it crops up all over again. even despite this, I am not too sure, if it is specifically due to these codecs or some other reason. I would really hope others pitch in & throw their ideas in there! -------------------------------------------------- From: "kimsan" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 7:46 AM To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] a windows explorer problem > Hi, > I remember this issue coming up lots in the past and I will take a > shot in the dark because I do not remember what the answer was.
