Thanks for the information. Even before this happened, I did experience sluggishness navigating in chat windows and especially when pressing the alt+number keystroke twice quickly to bring up a buffer of recent messages (that takes over 15 seconds).
Please keep us posted. -Vic -----Original Message----- From: Skypeenglish [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Doug Lee via Skypeenglish Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2016 6:22 PM To: Victorious via Skypeenglish <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] jaws scripts for skype 6.22 and later not working I've heard of three or four instances of this issue since last September. >From what I can tell, something is causing MSAA, which is part of Windows, to stop working normally for Skype. It may also affect Internet Explorer, though not in ways that upset most things you would do there unless you have custom JAWS scripts for a particular web page perhaps. As of this week, I have started working with Freedom Scientific to try to figure out what's going on here. It appears not to be a Skype problem, a JAWS problem, or a script problem; but rather either a problem in Windows or something being installed that is causing the issue. Those are educated guesses, but nonetheless, guesses at this point. Unfortunately, I do not have a solution to this issue yet though. It usually works better to revert to Freedom Scientific's built-in scripts if this happens to you, because the FS scripts use UIA rather than MSAA. (I did not do that because it would require JAWS 14 or 15 at a minimum, and I still support JAWS versions back through 11.) I have seen one instance where using the built-in FS scripts to work around this issue causes system sluggishness and/or JAWS restarts while you try to navigate a message list though. That happened in a group chat, but I'm not sure if that is a requirement for the issue. Sorry I don't have better news yet.

The scripts were working fine yesterday and suddenly stopped working today with the following message when I use a keystroke like ctrl+2 These scripts do not support this Skype version. I had skype 7.18. I tried reinstalling the scripts, downgrading to version 7.10 of skype, then reinstalling the scripts once more without success. Strangely, I know someone else who has no trouble with the scripts with that version of Skype. Anyone experiencing a similar issue? The only thing I remember doing yesterday was removing a few Microsoft office add-ins, so I can't figure out why this started happening.
