Hi,
Really? Oh this is very interesting thank you I'll surely try it for as I
said getting to the shut down menu other ways though successful I still
couldn’t arrow up or down off of shut down to make another selection
successfully. I've seen many crashes from which jfw recovers after a 30
second or so wait but this is a crash of a different panic inducing variety.
I'll let you know if this works should I encounter it again. So have you
seen such crashes as these where the normal means of resurrecting jfw fail
then?
Pin head don't know about that especially if this delivers me from a jam.
Thanks bunches again.
Robin

Hi Robin, the next time that happens, instead of doing a hard shut down.
Press Control+ALT+Delete, in a few seconds Jaws should speak, up arrow to
shut down, press enter, down arrow to the restart, press enter. This is what
I have done in the past to avoid a hard shut down. I hope this helps.

Hi Tom and all,
I can absolutely corroborate tom's experience. It's happened to me twice in
the past week using the most recent build of jfw 18 and Windows 10; and when
it does none of the usual methods for resurrecting jfw work at all. further
even if one can get NVDA or Narrator running while you have speech
navigation is hampered to such a degree that even in the shut down menu you
can't get cursor off shut down and onto restart no matter what you do. It
is bad, very bad indeed. the only way out is a hard shutdown which I so
loathe doing. I haven't been able to pin down a cause for what brings it
about so I can't make it happen at will but when it happens as I said it is
really not nice at all.

Thanks, Miriam.
At least I know it's not just me, and I'm not alone.

I called FS about this problem because I noticed it also on my 64 bit
windows 7 computer after getting Jaws 18. They said they know about the
problem and are working on it.

I have noticed the Jaws crashing issue here as well, using Jaws 18 on my
Windows 7 laptop.
It seems to happen occasionally when I am exiting out of a Microsoft Word
document.
Exiting out of, and then re-starting Jaws does not seem to help, nor does
the Windows run command.
Very disconcerting, since the only way I seem to be able to get Jaws back is
to do a hard shutdown of the computer, followed by a re-boot.
Definitely not good.

Hi all.
Recently, whilst using JAWS at work, the program has been crashing
unpredictably. Is anyone aware of an issue which could be causing this to
happen? I am currently using JAWS 18.0.2530 and windows 10.
Thanks,
Adam.
