Hmm, I get automatic updates, and I did go to MSCONFIG. I figure it's got to be something with WE if this sluggishness didn't start until the upgrade, but I don't know what the trouble is. The previous version before 7.2 was sluggish, and 7.2 fixed it. My WE used to stop speaking all the time. Then, I got WE7.2, and things were better. Then, here we are. It's back to sluggish again. I am not sure what the solution is.

I think I have the most up-to-date version.

I use IE8 and Office 2000. I have Windows XP. It's like the new WE needs a ton of memory. I am not sure. My Insert Control S takes a few seconds to respond to read the status line in Word. I don't know what's going on, but it is rather frustrating. I do use Eloquence.

It takes seconds, sometimes a minute before it would respond to a key press, making going through documents, etc. almost unbearable. When somebody posted how to change synthesizers, I decided I would try it. Especially since it has been fixed so that if you make a mistake, it won't keep the change unless you tell it to. First, I tried sappy, and the voice I got was horrible. Next, I decided to change to eloquence, even though I don't like eloquence. I received the surprise of my life. With eloquence chosen as the synthesizer, it is like having a whole new computer and screenreader. It is the most responsive I have ever seen a computer! So, I was wondering if the people who were going on about how much they loved 7.5 were people who were using eloquence. Further, I was also wondering if the rest of us who were complaining about the sluggishness were using decktalk. Which brings me to the third part of my question: why should decktalk be such a problem if it is something that is already in window eyes? What is wrong with it? Is there something I have to do to it, or is it something that GW micro has to do to correct this in subsequent versions? Pam.
