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. -------------------- E-mail/MSN: wil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I C Q: 95379501 -------------------- -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of MFurn Sent: Friday, February 13, 2004 10:30 AM To: jaws Subject: cpu usage lost jaws 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 Mark F.enlightenings. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
