If you don't have time to read that flashing window here's what to do.
As soon as it appears, quickly hit insert plus control plus the letter
W. This will bring up the Jaws virtual viewer. The virtual viewer will
instantly snap a copy of what is in that window, even if the window
quickly disappears. All you have to do then is select all within the
virtual viewer with a control A, then paste it into notepad to have it
read.

Hi Peter.
If my sound goes again I will check out my Volume Control. Don't want
to
mess around too much with the Restore function at the moment Peter. I'd
hate to make a mess of it again.
Regarding the flashing on my display Peter. I exchanged my wireless
keyboard and mouse and plugged in a spare keyboard and mouse to see if
perhaps it was the wireless system that was causing the problem. I
still
got the flashing, so that rulls that out.
I've noticed that just before the flash, my mouse pointer changes to an
egg
timer. The message is only up for a brief moment, even Pauline cannot
read
it. It's like a flash across the middle of the screen and it occurs
like a
pulse. Never came across anything like it. I have Norton and did a
full
scan and nothing was picked up.
You said that it could be messenger. I think I still have Shoot the
Messenger so I'll try running tat later.
Best wishes.
Andy
