I experience the same as it relates to the computer being unusable. Now why in the world did I jump on 2016. Oh, it was free for a limited offer! lol
I will go turn off the panes and see if the pain will subside. lol -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Tom Behler Sent: Friday, June 10, 2016 7:41 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] outlook 2016 Yes, Kimsan, I have experienced this sluggishness problem as well. In fact, it sometimes gets to the point where my computer becomes unusable. It appears that something is running in the back-ground, conflicting with Jaws, but so far the culprit has not been found. I'm using a locally-installed version of Office 365 containing Outlook 2016. I have contacted Freedom Scientific several times about this issue, and they are at a loss as to what to do to solve it. The only things they advised me to try were a Jaws type repair (which didn't help), and to eliminate all add ons if possible, which also didn't help. I also contacted the Microsoft Accessibility hotline, and their only solution was to defrag my hard drive. (sigh) The laptop which has this problem is a Windows 7 laptop, using Jaws 17.0.2007. That laptop is currently with my University's I T department for some other maintenance work, so when I get it back next week, I will try tackling the issue again. I would appreciate any suggestions from anyone else who has experienced this problem. I did not experience the problem at all with Outlook 2010 in Office 2010.

Does anyone experience sluggishness with outlook 2016? I could be replying to an email and it would hmm, not freeze but lag, as in take for ever for jaws to notify me I'm in the edit field, and I can't even up or down arrow. That's just one example. I also experience jaws not reading text when reviewing my message, as it takes a couple of seconds to read the line or character. I'm using the latest build of jaws 17 on windows 10 if that matters.
