Hi, Hmm. I've been so frustrated that I've often pondered the reinstallation of JAWS as well. My only dilemma with the RAM allocation is that every time I change it, JAWS will think stuff has changed, which it technically has. I might put more RAM into the Mac for it to be able to utilize more so it runs even better. I've just been too lazy.
My issue really began when I updated Fusion, and updated VMWare Tools. Ever since then, it's done it continuously even though I've tried removing all components. So I think reinstalling Windows is my last option. I'd try Windows 7 one day, but as to my knowledge, at least, it's not out in my country yet. Thanks. I'll try it.
