I've had similar issues with a computer at work.
It turned out my problem was that my setting were on a FAP server which was
changed and so JAWS couldn't find my user settings. It caused it to do
really strange things including announcing space and paragraph characters in
Word, not reading menus properly, and basically getting stranger as time
went on.
What was strange was that it got worse over time after the server change, it
didn't all just go wrong straight away.
Anyway, our IT guys pointed JAWS back in the right direction of the settings
and all is well.
One other issue I have found with JAWS on my computer at work, is locking
the PC. If I lock the PC to go away from my desk, JAWS then has problems
once I log back on.
I've been advised not to lock it it, but restart it every time.

You probably need to unload and reload JAWS every time you boot up your
computer for JAWS to read properly. I understand that when your computer
first boots up JAWS is running in service mode and does not work as it
should. To stop it from running in service mode, I unload it and then
reload it and that does the trick.
