Not a resource issue? Have you checked ALL potential resource bottlenecks? Have you not seen the JAWS processes gradually consuming more (or less) memory or CPU utilization or thread counts or IO operations the longer they run? How about other processes on your machine? Use task manager in the processes tab to see this information. The presence of running JAWS processes can affect other, seemingly unrelated processes too.

I’ve taken it to FS tech support to no avail. When I type a message in Outlook and to a much lesser degree in MS Word, jaws gradually starts to become very slow. To be more precise, the echo starts falling behind my typing. As time goes on jaws gets slower and slower. My typing gets to be a sentence ahead of the jaws echo. No, I’m not a fast typist. Also the cursor gets sluggish. If I stop to review what I have written, and do a control-home, it takes the cursor forever to get to the top of the document and arrows down very slowly at first to read the text. After a couple of lines, it wakes up and responds normally. This problem has been plaguing me for years, and I’ve consulted with tech support on many occasions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It’s not a resource issue. -- 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.
