This is a hard question. Everything installed on a new computer that is not from Microsoft is suspect in my view! After buying a few computers, you can be fairly sure of some. Others, I try to determine what their purpose is.

Hi Don, I know this is a very old message, but I am now getting a new computer and am wondering how you can know which programs are bloatware and can be safely removed?

Many thanks! Vicky

Don,

I agree. I try to get down to as close to a pure Window's
image as possible then make my starting image in case I ever
need to restore. I wish they would include a disk with just
the operating system and another with all the junk

Since this is a brand new computer, I would attempt to
remove all of the
bloated software included by the manufacturor.  Most are
paid to include
trial versions from other companies.  Most of these, like
Norton, you
could not pay me to use.  They also install a ton of
accessory and extra
software for supporting their hardware.  Some run in the
background and
are meant to keep your drivers from them up-to-date.
Unfortunately, I
have found all software from manufacturers not usable!  I
usually
attempt once.  I remove or disable almost all of their
software.

Hi Riana&  Vicky,

Were your computers working fine&  then all of sudden the
computer
started
reacting really slow in responding to the keyboard
commands?  I have
played
around with Keyboard&  Accessibility Options in the
control panel&
haven't
been able to duplicate the problem.  I had this same issue
several
months
ago but, it had to do with using an adaptor to make a USB
keyboard work
on a
PS2 computer.  I know I'm not being much help but, these
weird
occurrences
like the both of yours intrigue me.  Take care.
Mike

   Dear Listers,

   I tend to differ with the suggestions made, although I
unfortunately
   don't have a solution, but I'm experiencing the same
annoying issue,
   although the delay is not such that I can't live with
it,
approximately
   two seconds, on a brand new quad cor processor pc with
four gig of
ram,
   under
   windows 7 64 bit, with only nod32 and outlook running,
with almost a
   terabyte free memory on the hard drive, while on my
notebook, running
   the same version, latest of jaws, also with 4 gig ram
but only a duel
   cor processor, also windows 7 64 bit, running only
outlook and Nod32,
   with five times less memory on the hard drive left,
it's more than a
   second faster.

   Regards,

   Riana

   Hi Vicky,

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

     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
