Sometimes if you load another screen reader like NVDA while jaws is still
loaded, it can interfere with the screen reader flag. What I suggest is
having an open and close program event in your sound scheme so you know when
programs have completely closed themselves. JAWS especially takes a sickenly
long time to close sometimes, even after you confirm exit. It can act like
it's gone, but the process is still running. So when you load NVDA, the
screen reader flag gets turned on, but then the JAWS process closes, turning
it back off while NVDA is still loaded. The same could happen when unloading
jaws and loading NVDA.
I did know someone who used to constantly have this issue under windows xp
though, and we never figured out why.
Also, if you ever accidentally load narrator and unload it, that forces the
screen reader flag to off as well. I've done this myself several times.

Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] Major problem with JAWS scripts! Can anyone
help?
This may seem like a strange suggestion, but try this sometime:
1. Make sure Skype is not running.
2. Unload JAWS and make sure there are no other screen readers
running.
3. Load JAWS.
4. Load Skype.
The reason for this suggestion is that Ctrl+Shift+S broadcasts the
current state of the screen reader flag, but it can not turn it on.
If you have loaded and unloaded a screen reader while another one is
running, you stand the chance of shutting the screen reader flag off,
which would prevent Ctrl+Shift+S from being of any help. The sequence
above should guarantee that the screen reader flag is turned on.
If this solves your problem, the next step would be to evaluate your
startup routine to see if something you're doing might be disabling
the screen reader flag regularly.

Hello everyone.
I need all of your help to solve this one! I am currently using Skype
version 5 and Skype Talking. Now I have downloaded the scripts for
Skype 5, revision 50B, 53 to be exact.
Now I am having a very very annoying issue! Whenever I launch Skype
using JAWS, I keep getting the following message.
Problem: JAWS / or Skype restart required. Skype is unaware that a
screen reader is been used and is not providing all accessibility
information, and all attemps to fix this without restarting JAWS or
Skype have faled. Until the above directions are followed, many things
will not work correctly in Skype with JAWS.
I have tried what a friend Chris Hallsworth suggested, deleting
everything out of my %appdata% folder the JAWS one, to do with Skype.
But still no go, its still doing it! Just tried it again tonight, this
is how I know.
Dug I have also tried what you told Lewis to tell me,
control+alt+shift+S and all it says is sending screen reader flag to
all applications. But alas, no difference. Its only when using JAWS,
NVDA has no problems at all with it!
Please, any help or ideas on how to solve this would be appreciated
greatly, as its driving me up the wall now!
I am using JAWS 12 on Windows 7.
