Barbara,
I have noticed a similar problem on some websites but with no consistency of
when the problem will occur. I have deduced that it is possible that I have
just been unlucky and have tried to access a site when it is being updated
or something like that as it is often much better the next time I try to
access the same site.
Having said that, if it is always worse and worse the longer your computer
is on, this would probably indicate something a bit closer to home.
Is there any chance that a particular site is being blocked by your
firewall? When I used to use Norton Security, it was quite common for a pop
up window to appear but for Jaws not to announce it. This meant that I
carried on working blissfully unaware that Norton was blocking the site and,
therefore, not understanding why things were not working on the site.
Other than this, I've no ideas.
Jamie

Subject: [jaws-uk] Internet Very Slow
Hi All
Well my Internet problems aren't much better and I was hoping someone could
answer a question for me. My Internet is very slow and pages take a long
time to load no matter the time of day. When I type in an address and press
Enter, I hear JAWS reading out the percentage loaded and it climbs up very
slowly. Many times it just freezes or I close it down as it's taking too
long. Sometimes if I use the JAWS cursor it will read "Opening page" And
then the address. And others it says "Page found, waiting for reply". Does
it sound like I have a setting not set correctly? When I restart the
computer the Internet works very quickly for about 20 minutes and then back
to slow again until I restart the computer. This is extremely time consuming
and not a realistic way to work.
Any suggestions or ideas?
Barbara
