Hi I also found another useful app called autofix.exe which fixes cd's, flash drives, anything which isn't autorunning and should, I have had it for a while but didn't realise it worked for pen drives too.

My reasons are this.

[nvda] web ie podcatcher/nvda freeze? (burt henry)

Alasdair, if you're out there: I have enjoyed using the accessible podcatcher that is part of the webie suite of blind-user friendly aps, but this morning as a down-load finished NVDA stopped talking, and podcatcher would not respond. I was listening to streaming audio (winamp if I remember) while down-loading a podcast, and after checking down-loaded file size in a standard folder in my docs everything froze. . I had to go in and kill all webie processes. Fortunately nvda could still read me the name of a process when I typed it's first letter using ...

[nvda] Re: JARTE isn't reading menus with NVDA now (burt henry)

I actually thought about that, but as I'm fairly new to jarte don't know if there is a hot key to toggle screenreader mode, and if so what it is. (can't read the menus when it goes south, but am I wanting to selectalt main menu?) Anyway, since I installed the nvda RC yesterday every time I can't read the menus restarting both jarte and nvda at the same time does the trick/JARTE comes up in screenreader mode.

Also, currently, I see nothing directly dealing with how to use the System Tray in the documentation.
