Do you know where I can get a hold of this file? I can test it now. Does installing MathPlayer, then uninstalling it work? I currently don't have MathPlayer installed.

Best I can figure is that this results from installing and removing MathPlayer, and the only sure solution is to reinstall it. Someone posted a batch file that is supposed to work also, but I have not had a chance to test it at all since the problem has not happened to me for some time now. The problem is known in the NVDA community, which is where the batch file was posted I believe.

I think that might be causing the following issue I'm experiencing with NVDA: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/6651#issuecomment-267915834 Forms mode is definitely working strangely in firefox in jaws as well when this occurs. Has there been any progress tracking down this problem? -----Original Message----- From: Skypeenglish [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Doug Lee via Skypeenglish Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2016 3:49 PM To: Jean Philippe via Skypeenglish <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] How many of you have this problem in Skype or other apps?

For >me, doing a Windows update that requires a restart causes the issue to go away sometimes, or to restart at other times. The change is not always immediate; it can occur on my next reboot after the one for the Windows update. I've seen my machine absorb Windows updates just fine, restart for that and continue working, then reboot two days later and suddenly exhibit this problem until my next Windows update. > > >Thanks any and all for your input. > Thanks for posting to the skype english list. to contact skype support with any questions regarding your account email [email protected] To access scripts for the latest version of skype go to http://www.dlee.org/skype To contact the list owner send a message to mailto:[email protected] and for a searchable archives page go here. https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] to modify yoru subscription visit the list info link at the bottom of this email, or click the link in the email you receive with your list password each month. thanks and have a wonderful day. _______________________________________________ Skypeenglish mailing list [email protected] http://lists.tffppodcast.com/listinfo.cgi/skypeenglish-tffppodcast.com -- Doug Lee [email protected] http://www.dlee.org SSB BART Group [email protected] http://www.ssbbartgroup.com "It is not the mountain in the distance which makes you want to stop walking; but the grain of sand in your shoe." --Anon Thanks for posting to the skype english list. to contact skype support with any questions regarding your account email [email protected] To access scripts for the latest version of skype go to http://www.dlee.org/skype To contact the list owner send a message to mailto:[email protected] and for a searchable archives page go here. https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] to modify yoru subscription visit the list info link at the bottom of this email, or click the link in the email you receive with your list password each month. thanks and have a wonderful day. _______________________________________________ Skypeenglish mailing list [email protected] http://lists.tffppodcast.com/listinfo.cgi/skypeenglish-tffppodcast.com Thanks for posting to the skype english list. to contact skype support with any questions regarding your account email [email protected] To access scripts for the latest version of skype go to http://www.dlee.org/skype To contact the list owner send a message to mailto:[email protected] and for a searchable archives page go here. https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] to modify yoru subscription visit the list info link at the bottom of this email, or click the link in the email you receive with your list password each month. thanks and have a wonderful day. _______________________________________________ Skypeenglish mailing list [email protected] http://lists.tffppodcast.com/listinfo.cgi/skypeenglish-tffppodcast.com -- Doug Lee [email protected] http://www.dlee.org SSB BART Group [email protected] http://www.ssbbartgroup.com "I honestly believe it is better to know nothing than to know what ain't so." - Josh Billings, 1818-1885 (in "Solemn Thoughts") Thanks for posting to the skype english list. to contact skype support with any questions regarding your account email [email protected] To access scripts for the latest version of skype go to http://www.dlee.org/skype To contact the list owner send a message to mailto:[email protected] and for a searchable archives page go here. https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] to modify yoru subscription visit the list info link at the bottom of this email, or click the link in the email you receive with your list password each month. thanks and have a wonderful day. _______________________________________________ Skypeenglish mailing list [email protected] http://lists.tffppodcast.com/listinfo.cgi/skypeenglish-tffppodcast.com Thanks for posting to the skype english list. to contact skype support with any questions regarding your account email [email protected] To access scripts for the latest version of skype go to http://www.dlee.org/skype To contact the list owner send a message to mailto:[email protected] and for a searchable archives page go here. https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] to modify yoru subscription visit the list info link at the bottom of this email, or click the link in the email you receive with your list password each month. thanks and have a wonderful day. _______________________________________________ Skypeenglish mailing list [email protected] http://lists.tffppodcast.com/listinfo.cgi/skypeenglish-tffppodcast.com
