The problems you are experiencing are common on work computers, especially

those which are linked together via a local or wide area network. I had similar issues when I studied at the Illinois School for the Visually Impaired, a residential school for the blind. There JAWS was installed on a server, not on individual computers. The problem was so bad that I didn't even try to open more than two windows at a time because I knew that doing so would cause JAWS to lock up. Although I reported the issue, no one addressed it. I feel your frustration, but I'm afraid that there is no easy fix, as your employer would likely need to make major changes in the company/organization's computer infrastructure, something that may be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to accomplish.

From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-bounces@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Ryan Coverdell via Jfw Sent: Sunday, April 12, 2015 7:40 AM To: jfw@lists.the-jdh.com Subject: application file for jaws has stopped working error message in windows 7 and jaws 14 This is probably the most important message I have sent to the list so far, and the thing I need the most assistance with since it involves my work. My issue is this. A year ago, on my work pc, I experienced an up-grade from JAWS 12 to JAWS 14, and from Windows xp to windows 7. On any given day it's not uncommon for me to have at least half-a dozen windows-based applications up that I use at different times: a couple of internet explorer windows to read work-related documents, an instant message program to converse with my supervisor and others, and two applications I use to help with customer info. I use a focus 40 as a Braille display and Jaws pretty much as a guide for some screens that it''s easier to process through speech rather than Braille. My issue is this. Sometimes, when switching between applications or sometimes when pop-up messages appear, or when certain applications are taking their time loading, Jaws freezes up. It might just be taking its time loading, but when it freezes up it gets very frustrating to wait on and so I press the alt control plus j command to reload. What follows is Jaws saying "application file for Jaws has stopped working and needs to close." There are two options. Check online for a solution and close the program. I tab to close the program and press enter. I have to do it several times before it goes away. If a sighted person tries to use my mouse to assist me during this time they can't because of the sluggishness of the system. Have any of you in your work situations encountered this freezing problem and how have you dealt with it? I need to find out how to prevent it. It was not really an issue before I did my upgrade last year, but it is now all the time. Any helpful hints would be appreciated. I look forward to hearing (or I guess in my case it would be reading on my Pac Mate), about your experiences with Jaws in your work enviornments. Kindest regards, Ryan Coverdell P.S. Please keep the comments professional. I realize that many of you are probably adept at doing google searches and such, but for specific issues like this I would appreciate personal attention. I cannot call FREEDOM SCIENTIFIC about this since I work when their hours are. _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list Jfw@lists.the-jdh.com http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com
