[jaws-uk] Re: PC lagging.

Hi Robin,

I'm inclined to suggest that you ask one of the I.T. staff
at the college to set up a monitoring process for you.  This
would at least provide decent data to send to S&S or FS
technical support.

I wouldn't recommend clobbering any on-going processes.  You
could upset more than just your system. (Smile)

George.
