Hey there folks I wonder what Freedom Scientific is doing! I have Jaws 6.2 and 
Jaws 7 on my computer. I also have Window Eyes on here. Now Jaws 7 has been 
giving me a headache and was looking around to see if I could find out why. 
Both Window Eyes and Jaws 6.2 show that my CPU Usage is at 100%. Now if I have 
Jaws 7 running my CPU usage is at 84%. Jaws 7 is being a piggy and using memory 
for doing nothing but making the computer run slower. The CPU usage should run 
at 100% or as close to possible at that as it can. 
Does anyone have any idea why it is necessary for Jaws 7 to tie up computer 
usage?  I can't think of one good reason to do that. I have 512 Dual Data ram 
and windows XP Home with service pack 2. I also have all windows updates.
The tie up ram causes such things as IE to freeze, windows explorer to have to 
close, plus other strange things to happen.
Oh by the way I do believe Jaws 7 even thinks it knows when I want to check my 
email! Or at least it thinks it does because the log on screen comes up when I 
am not even at the computer without anything but what is at start up running. 
One other thing I have noticed is that in Jaws 7 the Jaws program starts right 
when windows does rather than like in earlier versions where the anti virus and 
or firewall plus other programs at start up started first. 
JAWS uses the symbol of a shark but maybe that should be changed if it is going 
to be hogging memory. Bet you know what symbol I am thinking about!
