[Blindtlk] One thing I'm tired of

[Mike Freeman]

Use NVDA for the Flash update. Or upgrade to JAWS 13 and use Convenient OCR on the dialog.

Ok. Phew! I'm not the only one experiencing issues with JAWS not responding. 
I think it's a number of things with my computer.

#1. I have JAWS 10 on a windows 7 laptop.
#2. I let a friend talk me into downloading all these different programs that will help speed up my computer. It helped, but started causing problems.


It is quite frustrating to hear a chimed dialog box but nothing is said. The other day, as it was starting up, it had a starting windows repair window open saying not to turn off or restart the computer, but JAWS didn't say that. My 7 year old son read it to me and asked me if I wanted him to close the window. The computer would have been sitting here with that window open and I would have been getting upset and worried that my computer wasn't starting up properly. Right now, I have a window open for an adobe flash player update, but I don't know how to get to it. Occasionally JAWS will say, "update ready to be installed" and that's it.

I have issues with Fire Fox as well. Every time I open it, I have to use the "alt tab" command twice in order to use the program.

Sometimes, when I hit the applications key and scroll up to "send to," it will stop talking before or just after I reach it.

IDK if there is an auto correct in Word 2007, but, I'll be typing along and I'll want to go back, re read what I just typed, and somehow my sentences were broken up and rearranged. It does it in my email as well. I use Windows Live Mail because I don't know how to use gmail on the site.

I have that happen a lot with internet explorer 9, and it is the application, not jaws, because when everything starts up again, there's a message saying internet explorer stopped working. Outlook too, oh man, it hangs a lot, just freezes and locks up the whole darn computer, particularly first thing in the morning.

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?
