Look no further. This is just normal behavior. There is really not much you can do to make JAWS start up any faster. On my commercial-grade Dell workstation with XP Pro and JAWS 9, it takes almost two minutes from the time I hit the power button until I hear the "JAWS for Windows Is Ready" message.

I have uninstalled all old versions of JAWS and run Regscrub, defrag, disk cleanup--not in that order. Then reinstalled JAWS9, using the replacement CD. Nonetheless, after the Windows start-up song it takes JAWS about 90 seconds to begin speaking. the startmenu is empty. Where do I look next???

Much thanks.
