I am running Win 7, 6 gb of ram, latest Jaws.
I think my Jaws stalling problem was caused by the Win 10 upgrade icon
sitting in the system tray.
I had planned to upgrade to Win 10 but my Dell evidently has some error that
will not allow it to do so. So the icon just sat in the system tray for the
last month or two. Finally my brain connected a major problem I have been
having every day with this icon. The problem was that every morning when I
woke up my computer it would talk for maybe a minute and then the hard
drive would spin at top speed and Jaws would go silent and no keystrokes
seemed to work. It felt like something was taking over the computer. This
happened every morning and could last for ten or more minutes but I would
usually have to force a restart with the power button and that generally
helped, but sometimes it did it again.
I have both Vipre and Webroot anti virus running on my computer and neither
found any problem.
Then I got to thinking about reading that Microsoft was using computers that
had upgraded to Windows 10 to send out the upgrade to others or something
like that.
Anyway, I removed the update and the computer worked fine. But the next day
it was back and so was the problem. So I removed it again and then hid the
update. So far so good. Today I started the computer and it has worked
perfectly for two hours so far.

I don't use Mozilla, but when I launch iTunes, JAWS 16 will always -- and I
mean every time -- quit and reload. Very irritating. I prefer the old method
where it says "Not Responding". At least I had some sort of audio feedback,
rather than dumb silence.
Windows 7 32-bit and latest JAWS 16 build.

It all boils down to limited resources. No matter how much your system has
under the hood so to speak when everything tries accessing an internet
connection which as we all know is probably the slowest component of your
computing experience things are going to bog down until programs like Adobe
just to name one gets happy and finishes what it has to do. I've noticed
even with 8 GB of memory on a couple of systems it can happen that things
just take care of business in their own time. The less the memory the more
the lag on the system.
I know of somebody who has 2 GB of memory on a 32 bit system, trust me there
is a lot of spitting and sputtering on that thing before it settles down.

Kevin,
Would this be right after boot up, or at any time? Sometimes, JAWS was
stalling on me shortly after it restarts after log in, and I have discovered
that it was because of other items starting up at the same time from the
start up options in Task manager. Once I had disabled some of the
unnecessary items there, JAWS stopped doing this.
This has happened at times other than start up when a program has tried to
update itself. The automatic updates for software like Adobe and some others
that appear in the start up options can really cause JAWS to go berserk.
