Defrag' might help? Start menu , Accessories submenu, System Tools submenu, arrow to disc defragmentor.
Hope this isn't too much egg-sucking info - it's what I'd try, but that proves nothing. Have had this problem before, though, and defrag' usually frightens it into at least temporary submition ;)

Hi Darren, Other than running a jfw repair, memory is the obvious thing to check. Have you installed any new progs recently. Anything running in the background or at start up you haven't realised? Also, Ctrl + Alt + Del brings up a page where you can look at the task manager and see how high the CPU usage percentage is sitting at. If it's up near 100% you need to investigate deeper into what processes you have running. Sorry can't be much more help.

Hi List. Over the last week or so I've noticed that JAWS has started acting poorly, only the speech however, nothing else appears to be effected. Its the same for versions 7.1, 8.0 and the latest release.And over all aspects of XP, no matter the program etc. The best way to describe the sound is for you to imagine you where sitting on a bicycle and trying to talk as you are descending a flight of steps. Its jerky at best, as though JAWS didn't have enough juice to see the thing out! But, it doesn't happen all the time, some days when I turn on the PC, everything's absolutely fine. Nothing has changed with my systems setup and I'm at a loss as to what's going on. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be the cause of this flaky speech? Regards.
