Hi Adrian I have Skype and MSN shut down. Surprisingly enough, tonight the Internet has been really fast. So perhaps BT in this area have had a temporary problem they've now overcome. Fingers crossed.

I had a simular problem a few months ago when reading Emails. I eventually found out, if my Skype was turned on, it would slow down JAWS in reading my Emails. If you have Skype, it might be worth your while in turning it off, and see if this works. Adrian Rowe 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?
