Hi Andy and all, When a question such as this is asked, it would really, really, really help the rest of us if you specify what version of Jaws you are using and the version of Windows you are using. For example, Windows 8 renders the screen differently than previous versions of Windows, so Jaws stays restricted to the application window.

At the top (or at least, the limit of Up Arrow) is something that says "Marlett 61490", and at the bottom limit of Down Arrow, "Marlett 61557." One or the other of these "Marletts" has appeared sporadically for years, but it's a new thing to have them both, and they are now blocking much more of the screen content than they used to. Also: this seems to be tied to my use of JAWS in general, since they are there no matter what I'm using it for-e-mail, browsing, writing documents, etc.-and they were there when I unloaded and reloaded JAWS to see if that would get rid of them. Sighted observers can't seem to see them. I got them deleted once years ago with the help of Freedom Scientific and a very detailed series of about 10 steps (which, of course, I should have noted and saved.) I have three related questions: Has anyone else ever encountered these things; what is causing or generating them; and is there a way not just to remove them now, but to keep them from recurring? I'd really appreciate any hekp you folks can give me.
