Hi Doug,
I've tried doing all those things, but still no luck.

Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] skype unaware that screen reader is running
That message comes from the JAWS scripts for Skype, and it appears
whenever Windows is not reporting to Skype that a screen reader is
running. This happens when you load JAWS, then load and unload
another screen reader, such as Narrator. It can also happen if you
load Skype before you load JAWS I believe, though current scripts
should be able to fix that one without showing the message. If you're
getting this message under any other conditions, I can't tell you why,
but I can tell you what it means: It means that, for whatever reason,
the Windows Screen Reader flag is not set when you try to use Skype.
I don't know what else can cause that other than what I just
described.
One other thing you can try, though, is this: If you're running JAWS
automatically on boot, at least under Windows XP and older, it will be
running as a service. You could try unloading JAWS, loading it as a
user process, such as by typing "jaws11" into the Windows Run box,
then loading Skype after that. This should not be necessary, but it
will change how Windows, JAWS, and Skype all communicate enough that
it might work around your problem.

Hi All,
Having a bit of a problem here. Something happened to my system a few
hours ago, which caused me to have to perform a system restore. Now,
whenever I launch and log onto skype, I get a beeping sound and the
following message.
Problem: JAWS and/or Skype Restart Required
Skype is unaware that a screen reader is running and is not providing
accessibility information,
and all attempts to fix this without reloading JAWS or Skype have failed.
JAWS and/or Skype must be restarted to fix this problem.
Until the below directions are followed, many things will not work
correctly in Skype with JAWS.
Please close all screen readers, then restart JAWS and see if this
corrects the problem.
If you have already done this but the problem remains, close and restart
Skype. This should not usually be necessary.
We are sorry for this inconvenience. Details of the cause of this problem
can be found
here
Press Esc to close this message and return to Skype.
I'm using the latest versions of jaws 11, skype 4.1 and the skype scripts
on windows vista home premium service pack 2 with all updates applied, and
I have tried doing a system restore back to a time when it wasn't
happening, and i've even tried completely removing and reinstalling skype,
as well as the steps outlined on Dug's website, but no go. I'm really
hoping someone can help with this one.
