I've found that taking a few precautions have reduced crashes on my system.
1. When doing research, I often bring up several WebPages. Now I make sure
to close the ones I no longer need. When not using IE, I close it, which I
used to neglect to do.
2. Following earlier threads about memory leaks, I've noticed that JAWS
usage increases dramatically as the hours go by. So when not engaged in a
project, I unload it for a few seconds and then reload. I find Outlook 2003
has a similar memory leak problem, so I also close it at least once a day.
These steps have saved me from many freezes when they can cause the most
disruption.
I'm using JAWS 11 and 10. I have a feeling I'll be doing the same when I
feel safe upgrading to JAWS 12.

Mike, I started to think it had something to do with jaws pro, but I guess
not. It does seem to happen more often when I am on the internet, especially
facebook. Shannon

Hi Shannon, Dave, & Chris;
I have this problem on a regular basis! For , no reason! It will happen just
by doing something as simple as clicking on something on the desktop. When I
invoke the Jaws key, windows key, + F4 keystroke, then when I try to restart
any version of Jaws with its respective hotkey, no version of Jaws will
load. I have to do a hard shutdown & reboot before I get Jaws back again. I
had this happen while I had Freedom Scientific on the phone for a different
reason and they couldn't figure out / explain why it would do this either. I
thought, at first, that I would be very happy with J12 but, it seems to be
doing the same old crap the J11 did! Losing focus & just quit working while
attempting the simplest of tasks'. I have written them & spoken with them,
to no avail. Hopefully somehow this activity, or lack of, will get cleared
up. Oh, by the way, this is happening on 2 different desktop computers
running XPSP3 Home, 1 laptop running XPSP3 Pro, & 1 desktop computer running
XPSP3 MediaCenter. Take care. Mike
