Yes, this can very from machine to machine, depending on what drivers are
loading up it and keep in mind that things like the sound card driver need
to be loaded well before JAWS starts to use it to talk.

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.

Subject: JAWS taking a long time to start
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.
