I've had the same issues before on occasion and have had to either start a
competitor's screen-reader or do the Jaws dump and re-start Jaws. I could
close the dialog, but I'd like to see what the error might be.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and Error Messages
Hi Everyone,
Sometimes, I will get an error message in whatever program that I am using
at the moment and JAWS will stop speaking until the error message is
cleared. For example, if I am using IE and I get the message "Internet
Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close", JAWS will fall
silent until I hit the "close" button to close Internet Explorer. It will
not read the error message. I either have to get someone sited to read
the
error message or I run another screen reader to see what is going on.
Now,
when JAWS stops speaking, I will hit the space bar so that, if this is the
problem, it will close the error message. I have also encountered this
with
Word and Outlook. I am running JAWS 15 but this happened with JAWS 14
too.
This has occurred ever sense I have had this computer. I have not had
this
problem on other machines. This is the only PC that I have used that is
running Windows 8. I don't know if it is a Windows 8 thing or something
specific to this computer. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Scott Duck
