Tom, I think you should call the computer place that you took your computer and ask the tech person you worked with about getting rid of the stored data or storing it somewhere else. This isn't anything to do with assistive technology and they should help you get your problem resolved. It could be as easy as a setting that automatically deletes this stored data or keeps it somewhere else as not to slow down your machine. I think the general computer people would be able to help you out just as well especially since they have already seen your comuter. Good luck

Of course, my question is why the huge data file has to exist in the first place, but that may be another question for another day. I really don't want to have to go to accessing and managing my personal e-mail via the g-mail web site if that can be avoided.

Cc: Drew Hunthausen Subject: RE: Major Outlook 2010 problem Did the computer tech have suggestions on getting rid of much of that stored data so there's not so much running? Just wondering if all the stored info is needed by you, and if you could copy it on to some sort of external memory. It seems like if you were charged at the computer store they should help you with this as well. I've used the g-mail site before, and while it works and is accessible, it is much more cumbersum with Jaws and takes way longer in my opinion to get things done and read your mail. Hope you get things figured out.

Cc: Tom Behler Subject: Major Outlook 2010 problem Hello, everyone. You may remember that, last week, I posted a quiry to the list regarding an increasingly sluggish Windows 7 desktop computer with Jaws, to the point that it became unusable. I originally thought the problem related to some sort of a virus I had gotten, since it seemed that something in internet explorer was constantly running. I think that might have been part of the problem, but after taking the computer to a local computer repair shop, it seems that the biggest problem is with Outlook 2010. I am not sure how he found this out, but the computer repair person indicated that my Outlook data file is unbelievably huge! It contains something like 10 gigs of material, and is constantly running, and trying to refresh itself. I access both my work and personal g-mail accounts via Outlook 2010, and am very good at deleting e-mails that are no longer of use to me. I also periodically check my all mail folder in my personal g-mail account to be sure that deleted e-mails are not showing up in there. I guess my question is this: Should I totally un-install Outlook 2010, and re-install it again? Or, is there some way I can correct this issue with my currrent version of Outlook 2010? My University currently uses Office 365, which I know contains a version of Outlook, so I'm wondering if that might be another way to go. The computer tech at my local computer repair shop advises me to forget outlook, and just access my personal g-mail via the g-mail web site, but I have not had the greatest luck navigating that web site with Jaws 14. I'm not sure if such an approach would work with my work e-mail account either. Any wisdom that can be shed on this issue would be appreciated. Thank you.
