Thanks John,
It is Windows Vista. It hasn't always been like this but I don't know that I
always had IE8. I suspect it appeared with one of those Windows updates
because I discovered a load of those additional security features in the
Tools menu after trouble began, things I hadn't noticed there before and I
would have when first setting up this computer.

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

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] IE 8 and jaws 11 start up
Is anyone else having trouble with IE8 crashing frequently on Web pages?
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.
Dale leavens.

With IE 8 you can set multiple pages to start up. In the options menu you
place an address on separate lines. With the latest jaws 11 I can not
read
the lines. everything is run together and can only read first and last
address. This is on a win 7 machine any suggestions?
