I'm not sure what link you used Don but the link kat gave is wrong. It should be http://www.mudcat.org/@/popup_simple.html although I don't think that answers your problem.

The trouble with having the 2 hearme's is that we need to agree which one to use. I find that the one at hereme.com takes ages to get going and on the couple of occasions that I have tried it, my computer has locked up on exiting hearme so I prefer the mudcat one..

JAB has mentioned some of the limitations with the simple version. I have written a small progam that overcomes the need to keep the button pressed on the simple vesrsion which will run on Windows 95 or higher. It is basiclly quite simple. When the "lock" is on, it checks all the mouse messages sent within the system and doesn't allow the mouse up one to be sent to ANY button marked "Talk" so hearme thinks that the mouse is still being held even after it is released. Pressing the F9 key works as normal.
