Hi Dave I have exactly the same problem! I can however not say that my computer or jJaws gets slower as they goes by. I am using the latest version of Jaws; Windows XP Home and Word 2000. At one stage I thought it was a virus. Have no solution yet. Regards. Renette -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Dave Mitchell Sent: 11 June 2008 18:36 To: jfw list Subject: JAWS 9 / MS Word 2000 / Problem Hi All, Could my JAWS 9.0.2169 be causing me problems with my use of my old Microsoft Word 2000 documents? Since using the latest JAWS 9, I am having trouble with Word Documents. As the day rolls along and I open, edit and close various word documents, JAWS begins to slow, especially while using Outlook Express e mail functions. I will change applications and all I hear open will be JAWS and Outlook Express but when I attempt to shut down the computer, it will ask me about one or more word documents and if I want to save changes to them. As I mentioned, I may have opened word documents and saved their changes before closing them but somehow they must still be live somehow. If any of this makes sense, I would appreciate any tips or hints on how to prevent JAWS from slowing down as my day progresses without having to do a restart before the whole saga begins anew. Thanks, Mitch "As we know, there are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say we know there are some things we do not know.
