When you say Windows Explorer, is that what you mean, or do you mean Internet Explorer?

Microsoft cannot say why this happens to some computers, nor can any other technical support group that I have spoken to about it. The best thing that I found to help the problem is to get an external hard drive, and move all of my media, documents, etc., anything that is not required for the computer to operate, to the external drive. This greatly increased the amount of free space on my internal drive, and let the computer run much smoother with less freezes or other problems. You can pick up a good external drive on Amazon or eBay for a good price, and a 500 GB drive would probably do for most people.

Jaws will suddenly state that windows explorer has stopped working. SometimesI can get it working again but much of the time I have to reboot. I am thinking of unstalling IE 11 and going back to IE 10 and maybe try reinstalling Ie 11 later. Can someone tell me if I uninstall Ie 11 will I automatically go back to IE 10? I think so but I want to be sure. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lynn White Sent: Monday, May 11, 2015 7:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] Windows Explorer Locks Lately, when I have been using Jaws 16, when I got into something like Drop Box, open a folder and arrow down, everything locks up. It has become so bad that I have to use another screen reader. I would rather use Jaws. But, it is just too frustrating to use Jaws. I have read all kinds of reasons for why windows Explorer can lock up. But there doesn't really seem to be a reasonable fix for this issue. I hope that someone might be able to help solve this problem.
