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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Mitchell" <mitch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "jfw list" <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 9:35 AM 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.
