Hi Geoff,

Sorry for the late reply, but I've been having problems with my system that 
I have not yet resolved, & it keeps me off the net for days at a time.

Good that others have described some of the issues, as I can't actually 
remember the specifics, as I have used the below method for restarting Jaws 
as a service for well over a year now.  From memory, it made little 
difference on my home machine, but at work, there were real problems with 
some of the Internet Explorer based programs, & even some on the mainframe, 
probably to do with MSAA, but I cant actually remember.

Regards,
Paul from Aust

paul. would you mind elaborating/sharing these real but subtle differences
you've found, between running jaws as a service, and not? I'm sure we'd all
be interested!
