Hi Playful,
It could actually make a difference in available memory and resources if
you first unload one version of Jaws and then load another. Windows often
doesn't return the used memory to the pool and that of course can make the
cpu work harder.

Actually I think the meter shows the immediate available memory or

something causing a problem. There is nothing different running then
before and if it were something wrong with the computer I do not think
that it would change just because I checked two different versions of Jaws.

hi, sorry but this does not sound to me like a jaws issue it sounds to me
like you are having a conflict between two or more programs that
manifests it self a little worse when jaws is running.
disable any screen saver or active desktop you may have running. then go
threw with ms config and see witch start up item is causing the
problem. I am using jaws 7 here with no problems what so ever.

Subject: Jaws 7 is A Piggy
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!
