Hi,
I have been listening to the advice given for this problem and would like
to throw in my 2 cents worth.
While check disk and adding more ram are certainly good for almost any
computer, because the problem is being experienced on both her laptop and
desktop computer, suggests that it is a program that she has running on both
computers or a configuration setting shared by each system that is causing
the problem.
The first place I would suggest to look at is the task bar. Look at the task
bar and see if:
a. How many programs are listed
b. Which programs ( if any ) are running on each system.
The next place to check is the startup folder >startmenu>programs>startup
and see what programs are starting for each computer.
Once you have narrowed the programs that are running on both systems, you
will be able to disable each program in turn to see if you get any relief
from the slowness of Jaws.
Another culprit might be your anti virus program or the windows indexing
program.
Again, adding ram and def ragging are valid steps, but because of the
problem being on two different systems, used by the same person, suggests a
program that is running on both systems or a configuration setting that has
been applied to each system.
HTH,
TJ

Thanks Mike. Yes I have tried rebooting, to no avail.
I know somewhere in the JAWS settings there was something that allowed to
set for response time, but I can't remember where, nor can I find it.
If I did, do you think I should set it for zero?
Thanks very much! Vicky

Hi Vicky,
Have you tried unloading Jaws & reloading it? Or, have you tried
rebooting
the computers to see if this helps? Take care.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] How to decrease time for JAWS to respond
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

We can not change the wind,
but we can adjust our sails.
This year we're going to experience four unusual dates.
1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11
and that's not all...
Take the last two digits of the year in which you were born
now add the age you will be this year.
The results will be 111
