Dale, Which version of MS windows are you using? I have minimal problems on my laptop running windows 7 and IE 8 versus the lockups with IE 8 and windows vista. I have not figured out what is happening when a lock up occurs but usually have just thought my fingers were going to fast and that locked up the computer. But if so, seems like the lock up problem would be similar on both systems. But again, many more problems with vista and IE8. I will probably upgrade the vista system as that computer is only 1 years old. In any event, I always try to avoid just turning the computer off as a remedy but rather try and get the system to shutdown normally. As to a remedy, if after numerous alt plus F4 commands I do not get speech to come back and or I try reloading the jaws program, I go to the shutdown command to let the system shutdown so I can reboot the system. No doubt you will have no speech doing this. On vista that command sequence is: 1. windows key plus letter M to minimize to the desk top. 2. windows key to bring up search dialogue box. 3. right arrow twice to get placed on the shutdown command and press enter. On windows 7 system. 1. windows key plus letter M to go to desktop. 2. windows key to bring up search box on the start menue. 3. right arrow only once and press enter to shutdown the computer. I sure think it is best when you lose speech after some sort of lock up to try and get the computer to shut down normally so you can reboot the system, especially on the windows vista computer. And of course you can always try the alt plus control alt keys and delete key to bring up the task manager which sometimes brings back speech. Good luck John

Very frequently I get a message that Internet Explorer has encountered an error on the Web page and will be shut down or that there is trouble with the page and it will be shut down. It will try to recover and sometimes it does but more frequently JAWS locks up and there isn't anything to solve it but to press the power button and restart the computer. I wonder if it is something to do with those security settings or something like that although I have no good reason beyond suspicion for that. Can I be the only one with this problem? Thanks.
