Hi, Joseph. No, I haven't isolated the problem, and I suppose I'll eventually need to have someone look at the screen. I can tell you this much. I'm using XP. The only applications I've had open when these freezes occur are Outlook 2003, WordPerfect 12 and sometimes IE8. With the same applications open, the problem did not occur in JAWS 11 before the current update, and it still doesn't occur when I resort to JAWS 10. In response to Dave's suggestion, I promise to perform no repairs on JAWS 11. However, I hesitate to contact FS and risk having them change settings that might create new problems. It wouldn't be the first time. I'll wait until I have something more specific to report. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joseph Lee Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 2010 2:18 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: re: System Seizes Up with Latest JAWS 11 Update Hi, Have you identified the situation that causes this "problem" - odd words, odd windows, odd system settings, etc. If that's known, we'll be able to isolate a particular problem or two. Cheers, Joseph ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrian Spratt" <Adrian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date sent: Tue, 20 Apr 2010 14:08:44 -0400 Subject: System Seizes Up with Latest JAWS 11 Update Since I installed the latest JAWS 11 update on Sunday, my system frequently goes silent. I can't close JAWS and get it to restart, nor does my "Kill JAWS" icon work as it has done in the past. I also can't get JAWS to work from the run dialog. Sometimes I can get other functions to work, such as a computer restart, but often not. I've now made JAWS 10 my default, and the system is working fine, except that I miss some of JAWS 11's features, most of all placemarker anchoring. Any ideas before I notify FS? -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
