Hi there,

With Jaws 6 if you hit Windows-r for run you can type jaws6 try this once 
maybe it will work.  As far as responsiveness Jaws is a bit under the 
weather when creating web pages as I use Arachnaphelia and have found most 
of my slow downs also when viewing pages but if I restart it Jaws comes back 
at full fforce.  The other thing that is annoying though is that the Fs 
braille displays 20 is what I have some times loose focus in Jaws and I mean 
bad.  I use the routing cursor buttons a lot while creating html and 
sometimes it goes some where where I don't even know where it went but the 
speech is at the location within the document.
