John,

I certainly hate that this happens but have honestly either completely 
forgotten or missed it. I have never heard of this problem with 7.1 and also 
run OE and have run 7.1 since the beta with no issues. Seems to me there 
must be something particular on your end causing this behavior. If this was 
a wide spread issue you must know that those people would  be on it, there 
are too many outlook express users to let something like that go un 
addressed. How many computers have you tried it on, if you even have more 
than one? I have 2 very different desktops and no issue on either with 7.1 
and outlook express. I assume that you have tried loading jaws with the 
default settings before closing outlook express to see if it could be any 
change  that you are making. I'm not saying that it isn't real but of course 
there has to be a reasonable explaination since there have been thousands of 
beta testers of 7.1.

Gary

I've said it about 15 times on this list in the past, but in case you missed
it, when I close outlook express, jaws crashes. that's only in 7.1 and from
the best of my knowledge after trying it over and over and over again,a bout
every other time with jaws 8.0 so it's a little bit better. Still no good
though since I close outlook express if I leave the house though I leave the
computer on. I've been using 7.0 right along with no problems. I've talked
to others with the same issue with 7.1. I will say 8 is a lot more
responsive where 7.1 wasn't, not great and I think I'll eventually go back
to 7.0 which is definitely better at certain things but I'll run 8.0 for
tonight anyway which is a lot more than I gave 7.1 which I was sick of after
about 45 minutes to an hour, maybe 2 hours total with all the testing and
experimenting and stuff I did to try to fix it.
