[Blindtlk] One thing I'm tired of

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Mike and everyone,

    I've also had this happen in Windows XP but far less frequently than in 
Windows 7. As I said hopefully this situation has been addressed by 
Microsoft in Windows 8. I'd at least like a more accurate picture of what's 
going on so if there's a program conflict Windows would indicate this some 
way rather than just saying "Program X is not responding." If you had a 
clearer picture of exactly what's happening you'd know to be patient and let 
the computer do its thing and that you need not restart your machine. Have 
fun visiting the Good Will Thrift Stores today.

Peter:

Au contraire: there are times when applications are in a deadlock condition 
(each holding a resource needed by the other and neither willing to 
relinquish the resource until the other one does first). Eventually, this 
clears up but one has to have beaucoup patience. Some have implicated JAWS 
in this but I've seen it happen with NVDA also.

Hello Mike and everyone,

    Something I can't stand with Windows 7 is the bogus messages you tend to
get when programs are supposedly "Not Responding." For example when
downloading podcasts if I want to check to see if the podcatcher is still
downloading a particular  podcast I'll get a message saying "Windows is Not
Responding" or "Accessible Podcatcher is not responding" when in truth all
is fine. What it should say when a podcast is being downloaded is
"Downloading Podcast please wait." That way you know not to worry, your
computer is not locked up, and that your podcast is downloading like it
should. This is just one example of Windows 7 not giving accurate messages
when application processes are taking place. I sure hope Microsoft fixed
this in Windows 8. It would also be nice if you could create your own
dictionary of messages in Windows or JAWS to be given for procedures and
tasks performed by particular applications to further eliminate this
problem. All the best.

Perhaps the application you're using has stopped responding for some reason.
I find this happens periodically in windows 7.

    In the middle of a task, command, or navigating the net, JAWS just stops
talking, sometimes with a stutter or short muffle. IDK what it’s doing or
why, but there are times when I end up turning offf or restarting. Sometimes
I can get JAWS back on.

Any thoughts as to why this is happening?
