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
