Sorry for the obvious error in the previous message. I spelled out the DSL
speed so it would not get confused and then proceeded to spell out the wrong
acronym! All of the speeds stated in the previous message are actually in
kilobits per second, not kilobytes per second. That should teach me to stay
up so late.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] System care versus c cleaner
I gave Advanced System Care 3 a try yesterday. I was about ready to
reformat my laptop and start over with a fresh Vista install! I have been
having network problems since Black Friday. I have had download speeds
between 70 and 500 kilobytes per second and upload speeds around 600
kilobytes per second! Our XP desktop, directly plugged into the router
gets over 2600 kilobytes per second. I still can not figure out whether my
9 month old laptop has a bad wireless card or the wireless portion of my 6
year old router is finally failing? Anyway, I tried to diagnose and
troubleshoot this problem last weekend. When simply running connection
diagnostics on the laptop wireless card, JAWS 10 simply stopped working!
FS and I tried everything we could think of all week. I even uninstalled
every software component from Freedom Scientific, including voices and
training material, and reinstall! JAWS 9, Magic 11 demo and NVDA all
worked. JAWS 10 eventually worked at the login screen and in all other
accounts, but not in my main account. JAWS 10 was running, but was silent
with any selected voice profile! FS escalation Tech Support expert left
the problem unresolved by Friday. by the end, Vista would take over 10
full minutes to Restart and display a message that it was shut down
unexpectedly, even though I selected Restart from the Start menu!
Back to the point, I tried out Advanced System Care 3 last night. It
found over 2000 registry problems which it repaired! I assume many of
these are simply removing history in their privacy screen. But after a
few reboots, JAWS 10 was working again and I no longer got unexplained
Windows errors! I am extremely happy with ASC right now! It seems pretty
effective. As far as I can tell, the free versions has all of the repair
features as the paid version. The paid version lets you uncheck features
and keep certain settings, such as IE passwords and form history data.
I suppose I would then be able to prevent it from changing my default
email client to Outlook instead of Windows Mail. It seems pretty powerful
and may be worth purchasing. The free version for routine maintenance
might be like trying fixing something with a sledge hammer. However, it
is not very JAWS friendly as some report. Only about half of the controls
are accessible to JAWS. The "Scan", "Repair", and "Stop" buttons are all
located in the same place on the screen. Only one is clickable at any
point and I have not yet figured out how to have JAWS tell which button is
being displayed to the sighted user at any moment. The JAWS Home Row
Utility says that the buttons are all visible at all times. I was able to
use the program by running the Magic 11 demo at 3x and press my nose
directly to the screen. I still could not read all the text in the list
box, but I got the gist of each feature. Unfortunately, I have never tried
CCleaner. Perhaps, it could have repaired my registry as well!?
By the way, my network is still behaving badly!

CCleaner is brillliant if you want an all in one, accessible hard drive
and registry cleaner. I installed it on my friend's laptop, and boy it
found a lot of junk! Over 250 MB of hard drive junk and over 500 registry
entries. I can tell you now her laptop's running just that little bit
faster now. I tried Advanced System Care, and, compared to version 2 I'm
not impressed.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] System care versus c cleaner
I have been following the discussions over the last week or so primarily
about Advanced System Care but also the few comments a bout C Cleaner.
For
those that have used both which do you feel is better and why? I read
the
web page for C Cleaner and it doesn't sound as comprehensive as
Advanced
System Care. However, my understanding is it is more accessible
thanks
