The new update of jaws14 does fix a lot of those issues especially in
Microsoft outlook.  Was on the phone the other day with FS and he
recommended the update for buffering problems.  So far so good.

I'm not finding any of that with xp home, vista or windows 7. Maybe it's 
just 64 bit systems or something? I don't know my 64 bit computer broke 
almost a year ago and I have yet to be able to afford the parts to fix it. 
I'm not having problems with the other ones though.
