Gord, These are real issues that folks are having. I know that you have a magic wand and everything works fine for you. But that's obviously not the case for everyone else, I can tell by the sheer volume and attention that this thread has gotten. I agree that more solutions should be forthcoming, but telling someone that it works fine for you is neither constructive nor helpful. To stop trying to find resolutions for problems that folks are having on the Dancing Dots list, will serve noone. In order to properly look ahead, you must remember or at least be reminded of where you've been.

FS has been very supportive to us at dancing dots and we can't have this on our list. If Jaws is crashing on a regular basis, enable DR Watson and try to find out what's going on in the log file. If you see any ment9ion of jfw.exe, send it along to FS. That's all I'm going to say bout it.

It happens with any application randomly, and you're right; the only way to get it to work often times is to reboot.

Any info or ideas would be much appreciated.

The same thing has been happening on my computer the last two months and it appears to be getting worse. Often, when JAWS crashes, the computer will make a sound which sounds like a single note on a Marimba: DOINK. The shortcut for bringing up jaws will not work and neither will going to the start menu and trying to bring up jaws. In the past, if I closed all applications and hit the escape key a few times, the shortcut (alt; control; J) would bring jaws back up, but, it would not be fully functional until I closed it and brought it up again. Now, even that is not working very often. I wrote to our friends at Freedom Scientific who said it sounded as if jaws was losing focus, perhaps because of ad where or spy where. However, eye ran my Auntie spy software and it did not help. I have a powerful computer I purchased from Dancing Dots . I don't really believe the answer Freedom Scientific wrote me about. They also suggested I may have to reinstall jaws which I'm not looking forward to doing with Sonar. I'm using jaws 5.1. Any other ideas would be helpful. Thanks.
