I never had occasion to notice this, but it's disabled on my office PC, and I'll bet it's been that way since the initial installation. We have 2010 here.

Subject: Re: Improved performance in Microsoft 2013 programs Hi Mike, Well, at least you're getting the setting to stick. I'm finding better performance with having Disable Graphics Acceleration checked, but mine won't stay checked even with Prompt to Update Styles Checked as you had to do. Ive tried running Word in Admin mode as well, but still no sticking. Hmmm.

Subject: Re: Improved performance in Microsoft 2013 programs Hi Adrian & Jean, When checking the, Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration, checkbox my settings wouldn't stick until I checked the, prompt to update style, checkbox. To get to this checkbox the keystroke is, Alt + Y, on the Advanced tab. And yes, after checking the, Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration, checkbox I did tab to the Okay button & press enter to save the change. Why wouldn't my settings stick until I checked the, prompt to update style, checkbox? I'll be the first to admit that I don't know / understand what most of these settings mean in Word! LOL All input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Take care.

I missed the checkbox my first time through, but found it immediately with Mike's alt-g. Mine was already checked, meaning disabled, but it sounds like a useful tip. I may as well list the steps from start to finish, at least as I got there: 1. Open a document in Word. Note. This works in 2010 as well as 2013. 2. Press alt-f for file, t for options. 3. Shift-control-tab to Advance. 4. Press tab once to get inside this area. 5. Press alt-g to get to the accelerator checkbox. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike B. via Jfw Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2014 6:40 PM To: Jean Menzies; The Jaws for Windows support list. Subject: Re: Improved performance in Microsoft 2013 programs Hi All, If you want to get to the, Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration, checkbox much quicker while on the Advanced tab use the keystroke, Alt + G.

The symptom. I’ve often found sluggish performance in Word when searching, or when opening a second document. Jaws seems to either not be able to read a screen without refreshing, or, in searching, it would sometimes take two tries to get to the results. Just plain sluggish. In going through settings, I came across an option to “Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration”. I checked that and things seem to be much more responsive now. I’ll see how the day goes. But if anyone wants to do this, go into Options, Advanced, and the item is in there. From what I read on Google, if you change it in one MS program, it should affect all of them. Hey, I don’t need graphics anyway. haha. Hope this works. Jean -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
