Hi, I am not using OE 2003, but OE version 6. my version of office is 2003. sorry about the mix up. rich ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard sherman Sent: Monday, August 20, 2007 10:37 AM Hello, The problem is that while using outlook express, after sending and receiving emails, the first email that I try to open, forward, reply to, or anything that requires it to open takes about 5 seconds for jaws to give feedback. After that initial stutter all emails open immediately. This stuttering also happens while going thru multiple emails. Although this problem is mostly intermittent. I will listen to one email and when done press the delete key. Then most times immediately another opens. Once in a while the system appears to hang and may take 10+ seconds for the next email to open. Or many seconds for jaws to stated deleted and then many seconds for it to start reading the next email. But like I said this is just an intermittent problem. The problem of the first email opening is pretty consistent. I know all my display settings are correct. I am using jaws 7.1 on an xp pro system and outlook express 2003. I have also tried this with jaws 8 and it still reacts the same. any suggestions to fix this problem? rich Sherman -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
