Hi,Yes - jfw.exe apparently has a high probability of memory leak and may cause it to stop speaking altogether under some circumstances. To chekc it, go toTask Manager, then go to Processes tab then go to jfw.exe. You'll see that some processes take more and more memory (including Outlook and jfw) when you use a computer for a long time.

In my case, the symptoms are that it eventually fails to read lists and E-Mail messages, and generallybecomes sluggish. My remedy is to kill the operation and restart JAWS. I dothis about one or two times a day, depending on the amount of usage.Others on this list have discussed the likelihood of a memory leak a coupleweeks ago, I believe. One list responder gave a very good technical description of what a memory leak is.

I'd like them to fix the apparent memory leak problem. I'd like them to fix the loss of focus and movement on web pages. I'd like them to fix the Mouse Click problem in PowerPoint Slide Show mode. I'd like them to...Okay, I think you get my point. Fingers crossed, as this will decrement mySMA count by one.

According to Twitter it was only for the Focus 40 Blue. We'll await the first beta of JAWS 12 and I'll watch closely for comments relating to this new feature. I use my BrailleNote mPower sometimes as a bluetooth Braille display. If this new feature holds out and it works well for JAWS `12 users then I may check this out.

Freedom Scientific has been working on this newest release of JAWS for more than a year, and it is hoped that JAWS 12 will be released before the end of 2010. Long-time JAWS users will be interested to know that in JAWS 12, Freedom Scientific proposes to replace the familiar JAWS Configuration Manager with something called the Settings Center. In the Settings Center, you can search for the setting that you want to change and then simply make the change. Itis no longer necessary to explore a variety of menus to track down where,for example, you can change the level of punctuation that JAWS speaks or increase the speaking rate of JAWS. Also, in the Settings Center, your last 25 changes will be displayed at the bottom of the tree view, making iteasier for you to fix a setting that might have been adjusted incorrectlyor adjust settings that you change frequently. Another feature included in JAWS 12 is the ability to operate your computer from the Braille keyboard of any connected refreshable Braille display.Using the Braille keys, you can enter any character that would be enteredthrough a standard QWERTY keyboard, and this includes all JAWS commands as well. Also, a proficient Grade II Braille user will be able to enter text in contracted Braille and have the result reverse-translated on the fly. I do not see much value in this feature for me, personally, but I hesitate tocriticize the investment in time and effort that has been made by FreedomScientific; I simply do not know how many Braille users out there have been longing to operate their computer from a Braille keyboard. The final noteworthy feature in JAWS 12 is the ability to use a Virtual Ribbon in Microsoft Office. Some blind computer users have expressed frustration with the ribbon that has been incorporated into Microsoft Office 2007 and now into Office 2010. What Freedom Scientific is proposing for JAWS 12 is to give the Office user the choice of whether to use the ribbon as is or to use the Virtual Ribbon provided by JAWS. This Virtual Ribbon providesa user experience that feels more like the traditional menus with which alot of people are familiar. Time will tell whether this feature is worth the investment. As for me, since I feel quite comfortable with the Office ribbon as it is, I will probably choose not to use the JAWS Virtual Ribbon that comes with JAWS 12. In all, JAWS 12 seems like a bit of an improvement over JAWS 11. Certainly, Freedom Scientific has incorporated some new features which some people will like. As for me, I would wish for features in JAWS which make it easier for blind people to compete in the workplace-something which Freedom Scientific seems to have lost sight of over the years.
