Re: Form field causing JAWS to crash?

I have experienced times when JAWS and Word stopped responding. Generally in the Jaws 16 days, I could bring up NVDA or Narrator and get around the issue. With newer JAWS when a freeze like this happens, often JAWS will automatically restart itself, though usually when JAWS is back Word or the other program that was causing the issue has now turned into a "not responding" application and everything is then lost.

Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn
