Hi, I am now working with jaws 7 and have had no problems what so ever that I did not have before. Yes some times when a program stops responding jaws some times stop speaking this is because the system is unstable and jaws is not the only program that goes out to lunch. Windows it self while being the easiest operating system to use is plagued it self with stability problems. While ms is working all the time on fixing these issues there is no way to make a system full proof. Just like there is no way to make your screen reader full proof. The other screen readers have there issues as well. So the best thing to do is when you run in to a problem log the problem report it to fs and the list and see if we can help. If fs can do some thing about it they might. If doing that some thing does not lets say delay them getting office 12 working or delay getting the next version of windows speaking. You got to remember there is a fine line between getting the program with its new features out there for thoughs who want and need the new features and fixing bugs. Anyone using Braille is going to tell you that 7 is so much better. As far as keeping the load on your cpu down get a copy of dectalk access32 it will use a lot less cpu time and is more responsive all the way around.
