I for one don't like all that crashing aspect of JAWS 16.
Will stick to 15 for the foreseeable future.

The improved Jaws recovery in JFW 16 is very much welcomed and has so far
worked great, but for a couple of instances where Jaws got stuck in some
weird hanging state and I needed to restart the whole machine to get speech
back.
I will say though, I don't know if I'm noticing it more now that I know I
can just sit back and wait for Jaws to come back on its own without having
to randomly close windows and do a bunch of guess work to regain speech, but
Jaws is crashing a lot now. Easily five or six times a day and often more. I
can't recall prior versions being so unstable. That or maybe Jaws is just
quitting more easily to trigger the recovery feature. Either way, it is one
thing I do consider to be a much more frequent occurance since the latest
release.
Windows 7 64bit, Office 2010, etc.

Kimber,
Actually, once I learned to be patient, the ability for JAWS 16 to restart
itself has prevented me from having to launch NVDA when things appear to
lock up. About 30 seconds of waiting, and JAWS 16 comes back to life on its
own. Still irritating that it crashes, but at least it's smart enough to
recognize that fact and self-correct.

Yes. (I've seen much the same with jaws 16. It's one of the reasons I'm
still using 15.
I installed NVDA on my laptop for those times when a hard reset was my only
choice after jaws crashed. I don't like NVDA for my primary screen reader,
but for recovery it works just fine. I have a hotkey
(alt+cntrl+N) that starts NVDA when I need it and it's gotten me out of a
jam several times.

Hello all,
Has anyone else seen the following? this is under Winodws 7 Enterprise
and JAWS 16. Sometimes (while carrying out ordinary work and under no
obviously special circumstances), JAWS and the entire system become
extremely unresponsive. After pressing a key, it takes many seconds to
respond.
This has led (at least once) to Windows Explorer and JAWS 16 both
crashing. Without someone else to assist, once JAWS has crashed, my
only option would be to perform a hard reset of the machine.
What's the best way to obtain system diagnostic information that would
help to work out what's happening so I can submit a bug report to the
right vendor?
