Hi, Don't worry about restarting VoiceOver manually, though. VoiceOver will automatically relaunch itself when it crashes. It might be a good idea to check for VoiceOver crash logs in ~library/logs/CrashReporter and library/logs/CrashReporter. The first path refers to your user directory repre

Hi, In that case, you might want to try the latest Webkit engine from http://www.webkit.org A lot of those crashes are probably related to the engine itself, and it tends to fix a lot of them as that engine is up-to-date and continuously being patched. Regards, Nic Mobile Me: nic2...@me.com Go
