I experienced this same problem with JAWS 12 and wrote to the tech support
of FS and received the following suggestion, which has helped.
Dear Becky

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Sorry, but I need to rant about v12 of JAWS!
Good morning,
I've been a supporter of JAWS since version 2.x. Always have stayed
up-to-date on my SMA. Never have I been totally dismayed with a major
update until version 12.x.
This has got to be the worst release of JAWS I've ever tried.
First graphics it use to read as so, it now recognizes them as buttons.
Quite irritating when you use quick navigation keys to jump to certain
elements of a web page to read it faster.
And it is quite the memory hog! JAWS 12.x crashes so much on my high-end
Windows 7 machine, I've gone back to using 11.x. Think it has something to
do with the Virtual Ribbon or new fangled Config manager, who knows.
Anycase, it is very irritating to be reading a web page, only to have it
go silent for 3 minutes, and then JAWS comes back.
Sorry HJ, but I hate v12 of JAWS and have gone back to using v11.x
perminantly. It's more stable and doesn't crash every 5 minutes.
Wish you allowed us to switch the config manager back to the old one. Do
away with using this new Virtual Ribbon. Give us a choice to switch them
on and off.
If I get booted for expressing my feelings on this list, so be it. Never
done this before, until now.
Feel better getting this off my chest. Thanks for listening.
