Deb and Banff -----Original Message----- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Loren Schoof Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2010 10:04 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Outlook 2003 I went through almost the same experience this morning. I was in Outlook 2003, I hit control 2, JAWS began to read the calendar then froze. I spent an hour and a half with our help desk--repairing Outlook didn't help. FreedomScientific had heard nothing of this problem. I gave up for several hours. when I started Outlook again about 4 hours later, the calendar worked fine. I think my company was having problems with their MS Exchange server. I would recommend trying again tomorrow. One suggestion from FreedomScientific that may help diagnose the problem is to force JAWS to shut down with the JAWS+WINDOWS+F4 key combination. (It was described in a post on this blog earlier) This will create a dump file you can send to them for analysis. Good luck.
