Hello:
Interesting problem you have there; actually, I have the same problem in one
machine while on another machine, an iMac running bootcamp, it works fine.
Very strange.

Thank you Scott and Indy.
I'm wondering does anyone know what would cause a change in the window
handle? Apparently that is part of the problem and I confirmed with CTRL
Insert F2, the Jaws command for finding the window handle, that it indeed
says it is invalid.
Can someone else running 3.76 or 3.78 who is able to access the applications
context menu and also running Jaws determine using the above keystroke, if
there is a non invalid reference for their window handle?
I am assuming Reaaccess is expecting a specific handle reference. I somehow
must have changed some setting that is causing the change in the handle.
I know I can access the options in the menus in a different way, but it
just seems like I should also be able to get it back.
Any help is appreciated.

That's four posts in a row basically saying the same thing Chris. I get that
there's wounded pride involved and the situation sucks, point made man.
Let's get back on topic and try to figure out what's happened to T's context
menus, shall we?
