I have that problem with outlook. I'm using Jaws 14. I use the insert
windows f4 command to force close Jaws, Then I can restart it.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Continued Jaws Crashing

Hello, everyone.

 

It seems that I have narrowed the Jaws crashing issue on my current Windows
7 computer down to the following sequence of events.

 

Jaws seems to crash when I exit Microsoft Word while Outlook is also open.
Once this happens, Jaws will stop speaking, and I can't re-activate Jaws
either via the usual Alt Control J shortcut, or the Windows R command.

 

The only way I can re-start Jaws is to do a hard shut-down of the computer.

 

My sighted wife says Jaws looks like it is still up on the screen, but she
can't do anything to re-activate it either, short of manually shutting down
the computer.

 

Does anyone have a sequence of steps to get out of this issue?

 

Does anyone know if FS is aware of the problem??

 

I did not have this problem prior to  updateing to Jaws 18.

Hello, all.

 

Sorry for the additional post, but I thought I should clarify that I'm using
Office 365, with Word 2016 and Outlook 2016 here.

[JAWS-Users] Continued Jaws Crashing

2017-04-23 Thread Tom Behler
Hello, everyone.

 

It seems that I have narrowed the Jaws crashing issue on my current Windows
7 computer down to the following sequence of events.

 

Jaws seems to crash when I exit Microsoft Word while Outlook is also open.
Once this happens, Jaws will stop speaking, and I can't re-activate Jaws
either via the usual Alt Control J shortcut, or the Windows R command.

 

The only way I can re-start Jaws is to do a hard shut-down of the computer.

 

My sighted wife says Jaws looks like it is still up on the screen, but she
can't do anything to re-activate it either, short of manually shutting down
the computer.

 

Does anyone have a sequence of steps to get out of this issue?

 

Does anyone know if FS is aware of the problem??

 

I did not have this problem prior to  updateing to Jaws 18.

Dave:

I believe mine is $69 a year.

But, I think it depends upon when and how you got your initial subscription.

I purchased mine at Staples last May, when I think they had some sort of a
special going on.

Curious -- Just how much does an annual subscription cost?

Timothy:

My Office 365 subscription is not set to automatically renew, but I would
think I could renew it manually via the web site you suggest.

Will give it a try here soon.

Hi there. I think you can do that by going to www.office.com, click on turn
on automatic renewal, that should help you, if you want audomatic renewal
turned on, especially, if you have a yearly subscription.

I hope this helps.

Hello, everyone.



Last May, I purchased an Office 365 annual subscription, and now, that
subscription is coming due for renewal.



Does anyone know if there is a Jaws-friendly way to renew this subscription,
and if so, can someone send the steps for doing so?



I have my user key card, and hopefully all other necessary information.



Thanks as always!
