I have a similar problem except it occurs whether it is Word, Word Pad or
Note Pad. I have gone back to using Jaws 16, where the same thing still
happens but not nearly as often. Tom

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Continued Jaws Crashing
Hello, everyone.
It seems that I have narrowed the Jaws crashing issue on my current Windows
7 computer down to the following sequence of events.
Jaws seems to crash when I exit Microsoft Word while Outlook is also open.
Once this happens, Jaws will stop speaking, and I can't re-activate Jaws
either via the usual Alt Control J shortcut, or the Windows R command.
The only way I can re-start Jaws is to do a hard shut-down of the computer.
My sighted wife says Jaws looks like it is still up on the screen, but she
can't do anything to re-activate it either, short of manually shutting down
the computer.
Does anyone have a sequence of steps to get out of this issue?
Does anyone know if FS is aware of the problem??
I did not have this problem prior to updateing to Jaws 18.
