A few people on this list, over a long period of time, have reported an issue 
whereby my Skype scripts suddenly start saying "These scripts do not support 
this Skype version" even for supported Skype versions. After a fair
amount of probing, research, and work with Freedom Scientific, I have arrived 
at both a conclusion of what's causing the problem and a couple of ways to 
handle it.

The first way I've told people to handle the issue is to install or reinstall 
Mathplayer. Removing Mathplayer appears to cause this issue in all tests I have 
observed, and reinstalling Mathplayer fixes the issue. This fix will
work for any screen reader affected by the problem, not just JAWS.

However, I have also seen the issue begin after a reboot for Windows updates 
and subsequently vanish after another such restart. Mathplayer would not have 
been involved in these instances.

So I have finally managed to prepare and release a set of scripts that can work 
around the issue while it is present on any system running JAWS. The workaround 
applies only to JAWS of course as the workaround is itself a set of
JAWS scripts.

For documentation and an installer for the scripts, which are called MRW for 
MSAA Registration issue Workaround, go to http://www.dlee.org/mrw/

There is also an audio explanation, pretty much redundant in content to the 
above documentation, at http://www.dlee.org/mrw/mrw.m4a, for anyone who prefers 
an audio description over a written account.

I hope this set of scripts, and/or this message, are helpful to anyone still 
encountering this pesky MSAA issue.
