Just because a program isn't running doesn't mean it isn't messing with things. If this worked before you downloaded the google whatever, remove it. Esp. with a slightly older but functioning computer, I have one of those, you will notice that anything new runns slower and the newer it is, the more something gets screwed up. I'd get the System Security Suite from the jfwlite site and remove things you don't need esp. the bhos which pop up in the list. That caused a performance problem on my P400 with 384MB of ram. You can also see if your soundcard has updated drivers. Oh I didn't even ask what operating system you have? That might be the problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terra Syslo" <tsyslo@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 2004 10:11 PM Subject: jaws 5.0 locking up > I am using the latest version of jaws with a Pentium 2 400 MhZ computer with > 256 MB of RAM.
