The first IE7 update seemed to help with this issue on my end. Also, I'm using the latest build of JAWS8, so perhaps that helps also. Cher >>> <acarthon@xxxxxxxx> 03/31/07 12:37 PM >>> I believe this issue is off topic, but it does seem to have an effect on Jaws as well. It happens more than I would like. I try to exit the IE browser, and I get the following message. IEXPLORE.EXE - Application Error The instruction at "0x300abedd" referenced memory at "0x00000020". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program OK sometimes jaws will crash instead of me getting this message, and I will have to unload jaws. and restart it. However, Jaws will start acting rather strangely. I also get a bong sound whenever I press a key on my keyboard. Jaws won't announce any of the icons on my desktop or my files in the my documents folder, so I usually have to go from memory. Jaws usually says something like 1 of 7 or something similar. I usually have to shutdown Windows in order to get everything functioning again. I am using Windows XP SP2 home, IE 7, and JFW 7.10.417. Any guidance and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
