Please don't take me wrong, but I am using Jaws 4.51 and on my old machine with Windows 98 SE and I have never installed the patch and have never encountered this problem. It just illustrates the fact that different machines run differently and that doesn't mean worse or better, just differently because of so many variables. On this machine which has Windows XP pro, I am running 4.51 and have never installed the patch. I don't know if I should because I hate to mess up a good thing. I don't know what the problem is that you are having and hope you figure it out. From what you are describing, it sounds like a memory leak of some kind. Are you using Internet Explorer or some common program as you start experiencing this slowdown? If someone else uses your computer without Jaws loaded does this problem occur?
