Yes, Mike, I am subscribed to Blind Computing. I brought the problem here first, because I still think it is a JAWS problem. Anyway, here it goes. I have Outlook 2003, using JAWS 11 current build, Windows XP SP3. Okay. I hit control 2 to get to the calendar. Then I hit control G to go to date. Type my date and tab to okay. In this instance, my date was Saturday, June 5, 2010. After I hit okay, JAWS freezes. I can see enough to tell you that Outlook will close, but I cannot even unload or reload JAWS -- just no speech. I did a JAWS repair, and that did nothing. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Don't cry because its over; smile because it happened.

However, since I don't use Outlook I have no clue as to what the problem might be. Why don't you explain in detail what problems you are having with Outlook 2003 to the list and see if someone has a fix. It could possibly be something as little as a setting needing to be changed. If you have already done this, try again. Someone with the fix might not have seen your post. Are you subscribed to the blind-computing list? This is another list owned by Mr. Ferrin.

Probably not for this list, but Outlook isn't closing properly. Don't know whether to stop the process after hitting Alt, Control, Delete in the task manager.
