I agree with Rick. JAWS is a fantastic piece of software and I for one feel fortunate to have it. I would not be employed without it. When dealing with computers, one must not rule out many factors. Your problem could be with memory and I would look at what you have running in the background. I do not experience this problem you talk about. I have tried Window Eyes and its no comparison to JAWS. I can do almost anything with JAWS and if I can't I write the scripts to do it. Check the MSCONFIG file or the Run key in your registry to see how much is in your backgorund.
