Ron, Are you using any of the Norton security suite products? If so there is something that you need to uncheck in the Norton setup. I don't use Norton and don't remember what needs to be turned off, however somebody else may be able to assist. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of tiscali Sent: Monday, November 19, 2007 6:44 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: JAWS slowing down in Word Hi all. I also have an issue with Jaws and Microsoft Word 2003 edition. When I open a document the machine says co, but there is nothing on the screen. Then after typing for a few minutes, I cannot read what I have written. As for the microsoft updates, don't these come automatically with Windows updates?
