Kimber, Actually, once I learned to be patient, the ability for JAWS 16 to restart itself has prevented me from having to launch NVDA when things appear to lock up. About 30 seconds of waiting, and JAWS 16 comes back to life on its own. Still irritating that it crashes, but at least it's smart enough to recognize that fact and self-correct.

(I've seen much the same with jaws 16. It's one of the reasons I'm still using 15. I installed NVDA on my laptop for those times when a hard reset was my only choice after jaws crashed. I don't like NVDA for my primary screen reader, but for recovery it works just fine. I have a hotkey (alt+cntrl+N) that starts NVDA when I need it and it's gotten me out of a jam several times.
