Thanks Becky for sharing this tip. But it is not a permanent solution
to the problem.
It simply disables all add-ons running in Internet Explorer
(Including Flash.) This makes many of the sites I visit useless for
they use Macromedia Flash to display their content.
The first beta of JAWS 12 worked the best in my opinion. Wish there
was some way I could re-install it, without the recent updates that
messed it up.

Dear Becky
Thank you for contacting Freedom Scientific technical Support. Try
taking the steps below and see if the issue persist.
1. Activate the run dialog "Windows key+r"
2. Type in:
iexplore -extoff
And hit enter
When Internet Explore comes up, see if the issue still persist.

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.
