Hi all,
I'm using windows 7, on a gateway laptop, and using Microsoft word 2007, 
jaws 12, and internet explorer 9.
I'm at a very crutial time in my life, and in what I do, and I'm very very 
angry about what happened yesterday, and wondering where I'm going next.
Here's what happened.
I'm working with the government on some important things that I will not 
mention here, but I have a lot of deadlines.
So, yesterday afternoon, I open a document in word 2007, and I'm also 
reading an article, using internet explorer 9, and I grabbed it and copied 
it to the clipboard, so I'd have it for notes to refer to.
But then, the moment I pasted it into the document, jaws stopped speaking. 
So then, I thought to myself, "ok, launch NVDA, and see if you can read it", 
and what happened? NVDA also locked up, and didn't read anything.
Then I get this message that says "microsoft word stopped working."
Folks, I have had enough with microsoft products, such as internet explorer 
9, and windows in general, that freeze up, lock up, and stop working, and 
also, with jaws not reading things and with NVDA not reading things as well.
So, my question is, for you Mac users, and you IPad users. Do any of you 
folks have the night mares that I just mentioned that happened to me in 
windows?
I sure look forward to hearing back from you.
Everything I'm working on, depends on what I decide to do.
All I know is, things have to get done, and immediately, with what I'm 
working on.
I can't have all this down time with all the above software not working.
Harry
