[jaws-uk] PC Volume

Calling all experts
I run XP Home and have just upgraded to Jaw 6.2.  I've now found myself with
a problem that I had about two Jaws versions back.  When the PC boots up and
takes me through the log-in screens, Jaws is very loud but, once I'm
properly logged on and running Word, Notepad, etc, it's fine.  I can't
remember how I solved this problem previously.  Could anyone give me an
idiot's guide.  The fault is not appreciated by members of the family who
are still in bed when I switch on my PC!

Cheers

Colin

HI Robin,

I'm not Carol (big smile), but I do remember there being a Memory leakage
issue which has existed definitely with JFW 6, and possibly 5.1. You can
indeed monitor the memory consumption of the JAWS application (JFW.EXE) from
the 'Processes Property sheet of the Task Manager.

Cheers,

Mark

Hi all,

Going back maybe six months ago, and sorry, my network only allow us one
months storage, I think it might have been Carol Pearson posted a thread on
how after several hours of use, her pc slowed right down. I remember
something about checking the details in the task manager window, but not
sure what to look for.


I seem to recall some theory about jaws increasing the resource meter for
some reason. Anyone remind me what this was about, as I suspect this may be
hitting me.

I just feel that come mid afternoon, and I've been online since before 9
o'clock, that things just seem to slow down, and the Outlook window locks up
on me sometimes. So far though, I haven't had to re boot, nor has the
machine gone into restart itself either. Here's some of the pc spec for
anyone who might have some clues?


Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1 (build 2600)
  
Dell Computer Corporation OptiPlex GX270
2.60 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4
8 kilobyte primary memory cache
512 kilobyte secondary memory cache
  
Bus Clock: 800 megahertz
  
Memory Modules c,d
41.05 Gigabytes Usable Hard Drive Capacity
34.55 Gigabytes Hard Drive Free Space - Status: Healthy
  510 Megabytes Installed Memory
Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller [Display adapter]

Using JFW6.01 ILM.

Any help, much appreciated as always.

Kind regards,
