[Blindtlk] One thing I'm tired of

Sun Aug 26 04:34:06 UTC 2012

Update to JAWS 13 and use Convenient OCR. But NVDA handles the updater a bit
more straightforwardly even so. And I've found it to get hung, too. So I'm
one of the minority that thinks it's not necessarily a JAWS problem.

Hi,

I do experience Jaws getting hung up when Internet Explorer is up - not all
the time - but enough to have noticed.  It happens with Jaws 10 and Windows
Vista on my home computer, and also on my work computer with Jaws 13 and
Windows 7.  I have IE8 on my home vista, and IE9 at work.  Sometimes they
happen to tangle with each other, and the only work-around I've found is to
close the IE window.

Also, I've found that Jaws does not work well with the Adobe Flash updater. 
I'd like to hear a work-around for that one if there is one.

Judy

JAWS 10 was never designed to work with Windows
7.  This could be causing some of your problems.
