Joseph, I must respectfully disagree with your point. Earlier versions of JAWS on the same machine do not exhibit the same symptoms. It is clear to me that it is the new design of JAWS from version 17 onward that is the root cause of the freezing, hesitation, and slowdown. To wit -- why would

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS freezing when switching between programs

Steve, Might be, but as you say, 4 G of RAM is pretty massive. I agree that coding is more likely the issue, since the real slowdown problems happened after JAWS 16, when they changed "under the hood" operation. I still think JAWS is subject to memory crowding either because of itself, or

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS freezing when switching between programs

On most modern computers, I'd be surprised if Ram itself is the issue, unless you have 4GB or less. That might be asimplified explanation. But, I think the way Jaws is coded is a major part of the problem in the way it has to address the hooks in Windows itself. It doesn't seem to appear with
