Hi. Tom,
I just spoke with Freedom Scientific Tech Support. Here is the solution
which totally fixed my problem and should do the same for you.
Go to Programs in the Control Panel and if it's not there, then tab until
you come to Programs and Features, I think it is called.
Arrow down through that and I had the Google tool bar installed which is
a no-no.
Enter on that and uninstall it with one click.
Then, after waiting a minute or two, go to use the Google Search and you
may find that the problem has been resolved. I was mildly surprised but the
change was tremendously welcomed.
Let us know if this also works for you!

I, too experience this problem, but in my case, it's with Jaws 14 on my home
PC.
And, to make things frustrating, it has only started happening within the
last 2 weeks or so.
Any ideas for a fix or work-around would be appreciated.

I have no problem with google and I also am using jaws 16 latest build. It
looks to me as though your jaws program is corrupted. I would try to repair.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 16 (latest) and Problems with Google Search
I use the latest version of JAWS 16, Win. 7 and IE 11.
It seems like after a recent update, I am encountering unusual problems with
JAWS which are frustrating and waste time to resolve. The only way to avoid
them and go back to a time when JAWS reads as it should is to unload JAWS 16
and launch JAWS 14. By doing this, all problems are alleviated. I do this
about 10 times every day now, so you can imagine the valuable time I am
wasting.
After I type my subject into the search edit field, then the program, JAWS
16, seems frozen and will not move or read. I go through hoops and loops
and eventually get it to read. Then, when I get down to the results, the
numbers before each different option is not read which is a real problem of
orientation. It is difficult to remember where to go back to in order to
enter and read results without any numeric representation. I waste a lot of
time each day now changing JAWS programs in order to get the program to
react as it should.
This does not happen on any other websites, including Yahoo or any others.
Does anybody else experience these problems? If so, how do you resolve them
without launching a different version of JAWS?
Eric Demery, if you are reading, perhaps you have some ideas why this all
changed abruptly after one of the recent JAWS 16 updates and how we can
resolve it as we work today?
Thank you for all suggestions and ideas.
