Sounds pretty disastrous. I have two suggestions:
1. Go to the View Menu with Alt Plus V. Then, hit the letter "T" for
tool bars. Be sure only standard and formatting are checked. I have
found that having some other tool bars checked drives JAWS nuts,
especially the borders and tables tool bar.
2. Sounds like a serious video problem. Be sure you have the latest
drivers loaded. In connection with video issues, you might try JAWS
4.5, which is far, far superior to 5.0 when it comes to video issues.
FS seems to have broken something in 5.0, making MS Word, especially,
problematic to use.
JAWS 4.5, however, is a peach.
