Also, try clearing out your Start Menu/Documents folder. I've seen that
reaction when the system is trying to close the documents listed in that
area, and one of those documents came from your accessing a file on your 3.5
drive, and it can't find the diskette to close that phantom file.
Thanks,

>>Hi Folks,
>>
>>Today I noticed something strange going on with my new computer. I got
>>into a situation where I thought I should shut down but when I chose shut
>>down, an action which normally results in a bit of disk activity and then
>>automatic power off of the system, nothing happened. I was deposited back
>>onto the desk top as if i had never issued the command. The one thing
>>which did shut down was JAWS. Actually, it didn't shut down but eloquence
>>did. I had to exit JAWS and restart it to get it talking again.
>>
>>Next I tried to send a fax from WP8 using Winfax Pro Ver. 9, a thing I do
>>almost every day. After the print to fax command there was a boom and the
>>fax software had an legal operation. Then I found I couldn't print even
on
>>paper from WP.
>>
>>Anyway, I called the store where I bought the system and they tell me that
>>this kind of thing is a result of using IE. This is a bug known in IE and
>>the reason they sell their machines with Netscape. The only answer they
>>say is to reload everything from scratch.
>>
>>I tried running a thurough scan disk thinking that maybe this might help.
>>I keep getting along a ways in this and then I get the message that Scan
>>disk has restarted 10 times and that some program is writing to the disk.
>>the only programs running at this time are JAWS and Scan disk.
>>
>>Finally, it seems things are running a little slower than normal right
now.
>> That may just be my imagination. I was able to print something a few

>>nothing doing.
>>
>>I am running a P-450 with 128mb RAM, Windows '95 and JFW with eloquence on
>>a sound blaster live card.
>>
>>Has anyone out there ever heard of IE causing these kinds of problems?
>>Could it be a virus and if so, can you recommend a good package which is
>>blind friendly?
>>
>>I hope you can help. Thanks.
