both using

On both of them, I can wait several seconds after I

before Jaws either echoes it or responds to it.
Do any of you have any ideas as to how I can decrease
the wait?

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to decrease time for JAWS to respond
Yes, there is a better way if you do a bit of searching.
You can Google the name of each program and find out its function. There
are sites like
www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/
that list a whole bunch of startup programs and tell you whether they are
necessary or not.
A lot of programs always want to run in the background when you install
them, on the theory that when needed they come up more instantaneously. In
reality, very few of those programs need to be running in the background.
The only ones that do are Windows system programs, your screen reader, and
any of your net security programs like anti-virus and firewall.
Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

How can I tell by the file name if I really need it?
The only way I know how to proceed, is to remove one at a time, and then
restart and try out your computer after rebooting. As you can guess, that
takes quite a long time.
Do you know of a better way to tell from an unknown program name, if it

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.

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.

Riana

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

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to decrease time for JAWS to respond
How can I tell by the file name if I really need it?
The only way I know how to proceed, is to remove one at a time, and then
restart and try out your computer after rebooting. As you can guess, that
takes quite a long time.
Do you know of a better way to tell from an unknown program name, if it is
really necessary?
Thanks! Vicky

Hi again. An other thinng that could be the reson for the slow down of your computer, is if you are running an Antivirus program, that has a very active animated icon on the taskbar, this can take so much focus from Jaws, so it is better to either change the icon if possible, or disable the view of this. Hope you find a solution for your problem.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to decrease time for JAWS to respond
Hi Riana, This is a shot in the dark but,I had a different problem of Jaws constantly repeating any character that was highlighted. Try the following to see if it helps. It will only take a minute or so. The below steps are for XP so, you'll have to figure out how to apply them to Windows7. 1. Open the control panel and press enter to open Accessibility Options. 2. Control + Tab to the display page. 3. Tab to Cursor Options Blink Rate left right slider, this should be at 63%. 4. Tab to Cursor Options Width left right slider, this should be at 0%. Hope this helps. Take care.

How often you need to defrag also depends on what you do on your computer. If you do a lot of copying and deleting, you need to defrag more often. Maybe use a memory manager/memory defrag program though some will argue on the usefulness of such a utility. I use Freeram XP Pro, a free memory manager utility. YOu will need to google for its homepage If available, use a hardware synthesizer such as aDECTAlk express or Accent external.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to decrease time for JAWS to respond
Hi. Does your computer's have a Celeron processor? This kind of processor has a very small cache, which often is resulting by very slow responding from the computer's keyboard. It can help a bit, having enough ram, at least 1 mb for a XP system, but it will never be good, before the processor/motherboard has been changed to another type, probably an Intel I3 board. I don't know if this really is your problem, but it seam's to me to be such a kind.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to decrease time for JAWS to respond
Hi, I have been listening to the advice given for this problem and would like to throw in my 2 cents worth. While check disk and adding more ram are certainly good for almost any computer, because the problem is being experienced on both her laptop and desktop computer, suggests that it is a program that she has running on both computers or a configuration setting shared by each system that is causing the problem. The first place I would suggest to look at is the task bar. Look at the task bar and see if: a. How many programs are listed b. Which programs ( if any ) are running on each system. The next place to check is the startup folder >startmenu>programs>startup and see what programs are starting for each computer. Once you have narrowed the programs that are running on both systems, you will be able to disable each program in turn to see if you get any relief from the slowness of Jaws. Another culprit might be your anti virus program or the windows indexing program. Again, adding ram and def ragging are valid steps, but because of the problem being on two different systems, used by the same person, suggests a program that is running on both systems or a configuration setting that has been applied to each system.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to decrease time for JAWS to respond
Do you have this key echo delay with other screen readers like NVDA and System Access to Go? It might be worth trying one or both of these two free screen readers to see whether you experience the same key echo delay problem with them as you do with JAWS. This way, you can determine whether the key echo delay is a JAWS problem only, or a more general hardware problem.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to decrease time for JAWS to respond
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.
