Hi listers,

I can't thank you enough for your valuable tips on this topic! Jaws has been bugging me for years with various laptops I've bought in that time. Your tips have resolved my problems to a great extent although Outlook still crashes at times when I use it with Jaws. The answer for me was to ' Disable hardware graphics acceleration'. I find this is a Jaws issue. NVDA works ok with Outlook without having to disable hardware graphics acceleration. Like Rick, I use Outlook because it's the program used for emails in the corporate sphere. It also has the calendar which I find very useful. Cheers Zel

Disable hardware graphics acceleration check box checked Play animated GIFs check box not checked I as you can see, also have the JIF's disabled and in general, I have pretty much anything having to do with visual indicators or animations turned off wherever I find them. I believe there's another place in Outlook options where you can access the hardware acceleration checkbox, but this is the one I know of off hand. Cristóbal I hope this helps you, Rick.

It does emit air when it does this. I have to type out my mails elsewhere and then copy-paste them, which is a real pain. I also have to keep going to desktop or elsewhere and then coming up, for the short respite of being able to use Outlook seamlessly.
