Hi Madison,
Well we ran every possible anti-virus programme but kept coming up with a
clean bill of health.
So went to the start-up under msconfig, and did what you suggested.
Like Magic it is now performing faster than I can ever remember.
Thank you so much for the advice, and giving me the confidence, to have a
go.
Rather thrilled with myself.
Very Best Niamh

Well, please write back and let us know what happens because your problem
and especially its solution can benefit us all as it will increase the
pool of knowledge on this list. Don't forget that you can also run the
Windows Malicious software removal tool. Go to run and type mart. When the
malicious removal tool screen appears just tab around and follow the
prompts making sure to read each dialogue in its entirety with your jaws
cursor and alike. The quick scan will take you about 3 minutes.

If in fact you have 100+ items in MSConfig startup, and if they are not
legitament programs installed on your computer, it is very likely your
computer might be infected with a virus. The fact that all this appears
in MSConfig and the fact that your computer is running slow are two
traits of an infected computer.
Try this:
1. Look in your system tray. Are there tons of things running?
2. Try launching Google or going to the Norton, Eset, or MSE websites.
If you are not allowed access, it is likely the virus is preventing you
from going on line to use an on line antivirus scanner.
3. Go into MSConfig, in the start up tab, unload everything but jaws and
your antivirus and malware protection. If there is anything essential
you might disable,Windows will turn it on at bootup.
4. Restart your computer.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] computer running very very slowly
I am using Jaws 13 and windows xp, everything runs very slowly.
I have checked the display settings and they are fine.
I think it is the amount of stuff on the start up menu but am afraid
to touch then.
I have no idea what they are but there are 101 windows/Microsoft items
ticked to run.
Any thoughts?
Niamh
