Subject: (Jaws-UK) - How to improve performance of jfw 4.5 with windows xp
Hi folks
I have just bought a new computer with Windows XP installed and am
using JFW 4.5 as my screen reader. Can anyone recommend where I can
find tips on how to make JFW talk better? I remember with previous
versions we were shown how to alter the display etc but not sure if
these can be applied in my system.
I am having problems with one website in particular where Macromedia
Flash seems to take control and speech becomes very sluggish and
barely usable, and even audio is distorted beyond recognition, I
believe due to the large amount of memory Flash is using and I would
like to correct this.
If anyone can help I would be most grateful.
Regards,
Peter
