I'm wondering if you might need more RAM. You can find out how much you have by pressing Windows key+the pause key in the desktop's far right corner. Turn on the JAWS cursor and arrow down through the lengthy list of details about your system. I don't know what's considered ideal these days for a Win7 system, but mine has 8.0 gb. In the past, I have found that RAM upgrades help.

It lies between the G, H, V, and B keys.

It seems like I am typing faster than jaws can talk, if that makes sense, although I am not a speed typist. It should be able to keep up. It happens if the email is long and I am typing for a bit. I use Microsoft office outlook 2003, windows 7. Thanks.

No need to restart the whole pc. You can also try alt + Tab away and back sometimes helps. Can you tell me what you are typing in when this happens. I have this happen all the time in Outlook 2010.

Then it won't start again even if I wait half an hour, so I restart the computer. It is almost like it can't keep up with things and although I type at a decent speed it is not too fast. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.
