<DIV>Hi All,</DIV>
<DIV> Sorry for the non-directly list-related question, but I figured this
was still relevant to appear here.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> For my position at the university I am teaching in, I was given a
laptop that was originally running Windows 7 and Microsoft 2010. I have since
switched to MS 2003 Pro mainly because of my great familiarity with it and
ability to work more proficiently from it. Further, the laptop is 64 bit.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Currently it has JAWS v14 installed on it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I am running into some very annoying issues with the computer and my
IT person and I can not figure out why they are happening. I was thus curious if
anyone here is running JAWS 14 and has had the below issues. Note that I also
had these issues with MS 2010 so this is not specific to the current
combination.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Whenever I send an email through MSOutLook JAWS seems to either
freeze up or lose focus. Further, when I hit reply it also freezes up for a few
seconds (this happens really frequently). Also, many applications, including but
not seemingly limited to MS products seem to take forever to load or freeze the
computer up. Also, in my email, once the cursor goes over a message, even if it
is not opened JAWS stops indicating that the message is unread. This is getting
very frustrating and is losing valuable work time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> One of the reasons I originally switched from MS 2010 was that the
computer froze up even longer when entering an app (even if just switching
between apps on the task bar) and would freeze up when saving. Note that the
freezing can last for a few seconds to a length of time where the only viable
option is to do a hard shut down.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Any thoughts would be incredibly appreciated.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Have a wonderful and very blessed rest of the day!</DIV>
<DIV>Chris</DIV>
