Hi Hank,
My guess is that you may have some programs running as Startup Items that
don't need to be running all the time. Such programs use up resources, which
tends to slow down JAWS.
To check what is running, press the Windows Key for the Start Menu and
press r for Run. Then, type msconfig and press Enter. Then, press Shift Tab and
cursor right 5 times to the Startup Items Tab. Now, Tab once and you can cursor
down the list to see what is checked; be sure to leave your anti virus program
and your anti spyware program checked, but most other programs can be unchecked
with the SpaceBar.
After making some changes, press Enter and you will be prompted to reboot
your computer.
The only other thing to try is to pull down the Tools Menu & press o for
Options. Then, uncheck several things in the various Tabs, including everything
related to spellchecking, grammar, animation & pictures.
Hope this helps,
Don

Subject: Jaws is quite sluggish when typing farily fast in Ms-word
Hello,
I have Jaws 7.1 and Ms-word 2003. I have noticed for quite some time that
Jaws is quite sluggish when I am typing fairly fast in Ms-word. Is there
anyway I can speed up the response of Jaws to respond quicker to tell me the
current words as I am typing them fairly fast? Any help with this would be so
very much appreciative as I am a medical transcriptionist. Much thanks in
advance for any help.
All the best,
Hank Merchant Jr.
