Hello, Screen resolution will change if you change screen modes. This will for sure mess up the video intercept. If you use full screen mode, and switch apps, VMWare pops out of full screen mode, and resolution is changed. Does anyone know if newer versions of JAWS beyond 9 fix this flaw? I come from the Mac universe, where resolution and bit depth don't mean a thing to a screen reader that is built right from the start to not be resolution dependent.
