Yeah. You have to kill the JFW task, then restart it twice. Very ridiculous.

Hi, fellow listers.
My point of frustration is this: Sometimes, simply closing out of a Web
page or an Adobe Acrobat document will cause my PC to ?freak out,? going
into what is essentially a freeze mode. JAWS stops working altogether when
in this mode. Curiously, another symptom is that commonly used key
combinations (such as ALT+TAB or ALT+F4) are not recognized. I know this
because, when running Narrator, I try to move between Windows and my
ALT_+TAB keystroke is read back simply as ?Alt.?
Sometimes, just by hitting the Escape or Enter keys repeatedly, or by
hitting Alt+F4 (to close out screens containing error messages), my system
unfreezes and JFW returns to normal. On other occurrences, I at least can
get to a screen where JFW does not talk but lets me close it and restart.
But on other occasions, I have to abort Windows by cutting power and then
have to reboot in order to get things back to normal. Obviously, this last
is very much not preferable. Narrator does not recognize or read any error
message when any of this happens.
I?ve encountered this problem with JFW 6.2 and with 7.0. I?m running the
latest Windows XP Pro on a notebook that comes with 768 MB of built-in RAM.
I?m running IE 6 as my browser and Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 as my PDF
document reader.
I use a high-speed Internet service.
My lock-ups happen almost always when I am in, or trying to get out of,
an IE window or an Acrobat window. Antivirus protection is effective and
always updated, and I have no lingering problems with spyware.
Does anyone know of a cause? Or of a patch/fix?
Thanks.
