I'm curious to understand something better in this thread.  Are you sure 
it's actually your whole system crashing, with every open application 
hanging?  Or do you mean only that Jaws goes silent?

thanks,
daniel

Hi Chris:
No I am running the normal group of programs and rarely have several windows
open at one time.  But yes I am having lots of trouble with this XP
operating system crashing or it could be JAWS 6.0.
Thanks,

Hello George.

It depends on what programs you are running.  For example, I'm running
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8.0 and for Dragon NaturallySpeaking 512 of memory
is pretty close to the minimum amount of memory.  It will do better with one
gig of memory.  On the other hand, if you're just running word and a few
other applications.  I would probably stay with 512 of memory.  This comes
down to, if you're not having trouble with your machine and your machines
doing what you would like to do with it well.  Why go through the trouble of
taking it to the shop and getting more memory installed or installing it
yourself.

I hope this helps.

Chris.

Hi curmudgeon:
I have 512 megs of memory on this Intel processor with XP home.  Do you
think it would more stable if I added another 512, I haven't ran your
cleanup suggestions yet but will do so in the next day or so.
Thanks,

i'd try

go into my computer
highlite your hard drive
alt enter to bring up properties
control tab to tools
enter on check for errors
but, tab around and check both check boxes
enter on ok
you will be told you must restart your computer to run the check errors
press ok
and then restart your computer
and let it run a full system check for errors
it may take   20 or 30 40 minutes
to run,
also, do a thorough cleaning out of temp files
disk clean up in properties
go into your hard drive into windows
p for prefetch
delete them they are more temp files
go into control panel
internet options
delete cookies, temp files, off line files, delete history
run a defragg whether it says it needs it or not
i would go to
www.google.com/ie
type in cleanup
the first choice will be
a microsoft  utility
called cleanup. exe
down load it
install it
and run it
it will  delete the hidden temp files that are hiding in your computer
after it runs do not  restart your  computer yet
like the pop up says to
tab to no
then route jaws to pc
page down then up arrow to see how much space has been recovered from how
many files

then restart your system

Hi:
I am running Xp home on a 3.5 Intel processor with 512 megs of memory with
JAWS 6.0, with service pack 2.  I am getting lots of crashes in various
programs.  I upgraded from 98(SE).  I wonder if JAWS 6.0 is at fault?  If
anyone could give me any advice I would appreciate it.  One more does anyone

know the name of the log that shows what caused the crash and where it is
located?
Thanks,
George R. Marshall
