I've had issues with Jaws hanging when loading IE11 on my Windows 7 box as
well. It particularly happens if the page won't load.
Jaws gets sluggish and non-responsive.
I have to open a different screen reader in ordere to close IE in the
process manager.

Just to satisfy my curiosity. Do either of you have NVDA? If yes, have you
try loading it to see if it would read better?
My reason for asking, sometimes while using I E, with win7 pro with JAWS
15, it would not say anything, but when I load NVDA it would read.
Sometimes JAWS would start to talk as well...
It's a good thing I have the peview program to turn off one of the
synthesizers so I don't have both NVDA and JAWS trying to talk at the same
time. :lol:

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

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.

Hi,
I've been using outlook 2016 for a few weeks now, as I only upgraded to it
because it was free from work, or else I would still be rocking 2013.
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.
