Thank you, I have this running now, but jaws didn't tell me it is running so I'm just trusting it is, unless there's a way of checking? I just round the disc clean up and pressed enter on it, so hoping it will do it's bit and after some time, I expect jaws to speak and read me the list that comes up, hope I've got this right? Thank you. from Christine. ----- Original Message ----- From: George Bell To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2010 9:43 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Barry, re: clearing history. In the first instance, you may as well use Windows own in-built "disk Cleanup". Go to My Computer, right click on the drive in question, and click on the "Disk Cleanup" button. The system will chunter away for a while, and eventually come up with a screen giving you a list of files and folders it want to delete, asking if you wish to proceed. It's quite safe to simply say OK at this point, since it will not delete any of your personal files, etc., only temporary files and such like. This process will take a while also if not done for a while. Ideally after you have done this, you should de-fragment the drive, but we can deal with that later. George.

Thanks Barry, I've seen my cookies ok. Can you tell me if your programme would help me clear history? Better still, as I don't like downloading programmes, how do I do that manually, I have done it once or twice, but forgotten totally how to do that now. Thanks for the help. Christine. ----- Original Message ----- From: Barry Toner To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2010 6:07 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Swap file help please I've been using C Cleaner a Freeware app from http://www.ccleaner.com For around 4 years now.

In there you'll find a folder called cookies. Select all the files with control a and press delete. You'll get a message from windows asking you if you want to delete them. Say yes. The only file in there it won't delete is index.dat. Alternatively, if you let me have your email address I'll send you the programme I use to clear my cookies. My email address is johncoley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx John. ----- Original Message ----- From: Christine Weetman To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2010 5:22 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Swap file help please How do you clear out cookies pPlease?

Hi Andy, I take it he clears his cookies? If he doesn't over time that will slow a system to a crawl.

In Control Panel. To set these values, click System, click Advanced system settings , and then click Settings under Performance. Typically 1.5 times your installed RAM is the number most home-users need. How much RAM do you have int hat machine? It may be an idea to upgrade.

A message pops ups saying something about shortage of virtual space or memory, and if I recall correctly, this is something to do with the swap file, but I don't know where to access it, or what to do with it <smile> Help appreciated - Andy
