Hello Dave,

I'm using the latest Jaws 9 build and using Word 2000 as my word processor 
on an XP Home machine. I have quite a few problems with this version of 
Jaws, but nothing like what you're describing. Nothing that seems to be 
impairing the actual functioning of my computer overall.

Good luck finding a remedy.

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
