Hi

I too have JAWS 15 and later, as I lost my vision to glaucoma in 2012 and was declared legally blind in 2013, soon after that I bought JAWS 15 and have maintained an SMA ever since.

After reading your message about JAWS 15 and 16 versus JAWS 17 and 18, I realized the problems I've been struggling with between JAWS and IE11 that Freedom Scientific doesn't appear to know how to solve, started with JAWS 17. Since I can't think of any new features introduced in 17 and 18 that are must haves, I wonder if I might be better off just going back to JAWS 16.

Any thoughts?

Cheers!

But I disagree with you. I have JAWS 15, 16, 17, and 18. IE11 works just
fine with JAWS 15 and 16 (no delay in the find function), and JAWS 17 and 18
are the bad boys. So it's definitely something with the JAWS architecture
from 17 onward. They made a significant change to JAWS in that version, as
we all recall, since we were no longer able to merge from JAWS 16 to JAWS 17
due to that new paradigm. So it's definitely something they did to break
JAWS 17, and continue to not fix, in JAWS 18.

I have yet to install 18. I made my reply to simply state it's happening
here with jaws 17, so I don't think it's a jaws issue.

I think IE 11 just sucks and is the problem.
Let's all convert to chrome.

Kimsan,

...and does it not happen with JAWS 18?

Yes. It is actually not crashing, but it is closing down and reloading. I
also notice it is often very slow when I execute a JAWS find.

Hello list
Since the latest upgrade of jaws 18 it crashes 9 out of ten times when I
open ie11 on my windows10 pc. Then I must wait until it restarts. I find it
to be less responsive in firefox. Do other listers also encounter this?
Regards
