Brandon, With the number of windows you have open, it's possible that a lot of housekeeping is going on behind the scenes and slowing down JAWS. Does this happen right after you unload and reload JAWS, or after some period of time?

Hello, so my Jaws has been acting very slowly while I've been writing in word documents. While I'm writing papers and tabbing through about 4 different windows grabbing quotes and reading, when I start to arrow through any of the windows it takes jaws either one second to actually read the word or Jaws just skips the word and says nothing and as I ctrl left and right through the window only a quarter of the words I arrow through are spoken. I end up having to alt tab to another window and alt tab back and hope it goes up to speed. Does anyone know what's going on and how I can fix it? I have a Jaws 11 windows vista 32 bit. I don't think it has anything to do with gigs because I have 4 and max 7 windows should be able to run just fine with jaws.
