I can't speak to the accessibility of any of the programs you listed but the first thing that comes to mind is you need to check and see how many of them or any other programs are running at startup. If even 25% of those that you have listed then your system is seriously bogged down.
Add to that the fact that net books aren't noted to come with a lot of memory but I do know some people who have upgraded that feature. Check out your startup sub menu under programs and your MSConfig to find out what's running at boot up. Yell for help if you're not comfortable doing the MSConfig deal as there are several people on here who are qualified to handle such things.

There seems to be a lot of different software loaded on this machine and Jaws 12 does not want to read some of the dialogue boxes to me. He seems to run sluggish at times and times he does not talk at all. Any suggestions. Someone mentioned scripts.
