I believe that both Window Eyes and JAWS have memory leakage problems not to mention Windows itself and other applications. I never shut the computer off. My XP Home system will run find for anywhere between ten minutes and 1 week. Usually I can't get through four or five days without losing speech with no recourse but a forced reboot by holding the power button in to shutdown. I believe that if MicroSoft would pay more attention to securing Windows then a lot of other problems attributed to other developers would go away.
