If you use something like the jaws key + F10 to bring up a list of active windows, what all are in there?

Alternatively, windows key + tab will just set focus to the taskbar and you can use the left/right arrow keys to see what programs are all actively running, or also, depending on your version of windows, Ctrl + Alt + Del will bring up the task manager where you can also what applications are running, and in it's processes page/list, you can also sort of view actual processor/memory usage by each process, but this isn't too easy to scan using a screenreader, but the idea would be that you could see what was actually making use of the most of the CPU/memory.

My prior thing relating to hitting the F5 key was just to see how many actual mail messages etc. were being downloaded and didn't really relate to the machine overloading as such, FWIW.

Stay well

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Friends I tried what Jacob suggested and itdidn't work


Friends, I tried what jacob suggested about  my outlook express issue.
I brought up the f5 key and I even ourted my jaws to pc.
I couldn't even find a single error message or anything on the screen telling me something's wrong. now if I hit the arrow keys like my up or down arrow and even begin to read a message, then the disc activity starts up again.
I hit windows m to get to my desktop as I usually do.
I alt tabbed back in to outlook express and I hear start inbo........9-52 !.M. clock. Of course when you alt f four out of there it will give you that end program etc etc this program is not responding.
