Omar, Yeah I know what you mean there. I noticed some problems with Outlook Express, but I can't seem to pin it down exactly. Everything seems to run all right, but if I want to restart the computer or just shut it down after I've closed all programs, etc, I get this stupid dialog that pops up; it's an End Main program Window. It tells me that if I choose to end the program now that I'll lose any unsaved data. Well at this point, there's nothing to save; I just want to restart or shut the damn thing down! I don't get this garbage after I've worked in any other program, including Sonar. I don't know if it's a JAWS thing with the Outlook Express scripts messing things up a bit or what; but it's annoying to say the least. It's been going on for quite some time now, and I've reported it to Freedom Scientific.

Jaws seems to become buggy at times after updates.
