In my experience it means it’s crashed or is so busy that it just doesn’t 
respond to commands. Sometimes if you just leave a programme for a few minutes 
it finishes and becomes available again, other times not. If it’s a zip 
programme is it doing it whilst it is working i.e. unzipping. If so just wait 
for it to finish.

Subject: What does "Unavailable imply about a program's status with JAWS

A friend has 7zip installed on a computer. It works to zip and unzip files when 
accessed through the Applications key. But when we try to access it through the 
start menu and programs, JAWS says: 7zip submenu unavailable.

The program isn't already open at the time. I know this can cause JAWS to say a 
program is unavailable.

Does anyone here know what else can cause this behavior with JAWS, and how to 
correct it?

Thank you.
