That is so crazy. Thank God or some one that I do not run into this. I am
always running between 4 and 5 programs at once. What does happen some
times is that jaws reads each word as gibberish when I am creating an email
message. I am using jaws 11 and outlook 2003. If I tab away and come back
to the message it will then read properly. Any ideas as to what that is
about? P.S. Keep up the humorous text, please! I love it. It makes me
want to meet you all as you seem like a lot of fun as well as good techies.

There is a way short of rebooting to get JAWS back up that Dave alluded
to--the kill JAWS method. Following directions given a long time ago on this
list, I put that icon in my desktop. It is the only icon whose name begins
with k. So when JAWS disappears and wont' come back, I press Window-m to get
focus into the desktop, press k, then enter. In my case, it brings up JAWS
speaking the message asking if I'm sure I want to close JAWS. I press
escape, and I'm back in business. Note that often I've tried to close JAWS
with a view to reopening it, so that may explain why this message appears.
But it isn't spoken until I've gone the "kill JAWS" route.
As you can tell, I'm skipping past the important step of how you create
"kill JAWS." If no one else follows up, I'll try to reconstruct it. However,
Dave and others are much better at tech questions than I am, so I'm hoping
they will provide the explanation they're more qualified to give.

Dorothy is correct. I use Jaws 9 with XP Pro and it is an occasional problem
with that, and was with v8 and v7. I never associated it with white print on
a black background, but that might be a factor. I usually just press the
power button for six seconds and reboot things when it happens as no other
key combination will work at all. It is as if Jaws possesses every bit of
the machine.
