G'day All,

I have this problem even using the latest update of Jaws 5. It also occurred
with Version 4.51. I was originally using Millennium but after a major crash
I re-partitioned my hard disk and did a fresh install of Windows 98SE which
is my current O/S. The problem occurs with both these systems.

I took the issue up with the Jaws agent's support service here in Australia
and they haven't been able to solve it. They suggested tweaks such as
running memory managers and creating my own virtual memory with the range
512/1024 mb. They said to make sure that there were at least 85% of system
resources free at start-up which I did. However, none of this has helped.

As an experiment, I uninstalled Jaws 5 and put 3.7U on and yes, the problem
went away. The processor rarely goes above 10% usage even whilst connected
to the Internet via my internal modem.

What is the patch for 4.51? I haven't been told about it.

Cheers, Steve

What version of Jaws are you using?  4.51 and below had this problem you
write about.  I had it also, but if you're using 4.51, there is a patch to
correct this issue.  If you're using 5.0, this is the first case of the
bogged down cpu usage I've seen, therefore, I don't have an answer.

Question techies.

I was looking  at a web site , when my hard drive started something.  Jaws
went silent..  Using narrator, I saw that my cpu usage was at 100%.  Now,
not sure why, but in time it went back down and I could use a voice again.
WindowEyes will work, but jaws not.  Why is that?

Stupid question.  If one reaches 100% cpu usage, that will cause jaws not to
work correct?

thank you for all
