Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws freezing up
Hi Judy, what version of windows are you using? I'm running win 7 32 bit with 2 gb ram, and hardly experience any freezing. But I turned off lots of the windows process from loading. I also remove programs I don't need to access all the time from the start-up. -Original Message- From: Judy Sent: Monday, March 20, 2017 6:04 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws freezing up Hi, well I checked and it says 4.00 gb and 3.7 usable. This computer is several years old and not in the budget for a new one, so thanks for the idea. Sounds like I need to install more.
