Thank you for your instructions! They sound very useful for speeding up my
computer. However, what I am particularly referring to, is the time delay
between pressing a letter key and hearing JAWS echo it. Sometimes, JAWS
seems to not even know that I have pressed a key.
I've cleaned my keyboard, with the compressed air and got a lot of dog hair
out of it. May be it's just wearing out?
I had thought that this was just a Jaws problem, but now, I'm not so sure.
Many thanks for any thoughts on this matter! Vicky

Do a scanDisk on both.
Just go to desk top, myComputer, hit enter. Now on the local drive hit
application key and chose properties...
Then do a control + tab and hit enter. Tab to fix drive and check. Then ok
your way out.
When you reboot it will do that job.
after that is done. Run defrag on the system, and disk clean up. You can
find that in accessories, system tools, disk clean up.
If you have a registry cleaner run it also.
Now your all clean.
Do a insert + f11, and see just what all is running.
For some you may have to go into control panel, task bar and startup menu.
Just un check hide icons and they will show all.
Stop all that don't need to run and then shut computer off and once off
restart it.
That will purge the memory and come up clean. Where a reboot will still
keep junk around.

Hi folks, I'm using Jaws 11 on a laptop and desktop both using Windows XP.
On both of them, I can wait several seconds after I have pressed a key,
before Jaws either echoes it or responds to it.
Do any of you have any ideas as to how I can decrease the wait?
Many thanks for any suggestions! Vicky
