When I have had this problem it is usually because there isn't enough memory on the computer for JAWS to run with other applications.
Speaking of JAWS, does anyone know an effecient way of finding out if someone is free when you send them a meeting invitation in Microsofft Outlook 2010?  Right now the only option I can find is to look at each calendar of the recipients of the invitations and then send them out.  People who can see can tell if someone is free because when they create the invitation, a blue bar appears across the top of the screen to indicate that the person is busy and then there is some kind of option to propose a new time.  I'm not sure if there is visible text in the  active window for JAWS to read and it seems that this function is purely visual  I called Freedom Scientific tech support and they weren't very helpful.  Are there better options either with JAWS or another screenreader.  I know  WindowEyes has an interesting front-end to Outlook but I don't know  if it addresses this issue of  loking at the status of  other Outlook users.
I hope some of you can help.  I ended up having my manager set up the meeting since she could quickly see if people were free.

Thanks,
Dan
