Are there any limits set on the page file size? This is the old swap file in earlier versions of Windows. sometimes it is restricted in the performance settings and, if the disk drive is getting full, it can really slow up computer performance if dynamic sizing which is the default is left. Sounds though like Excel is not remaining open. It could be that Jaws just doesn't see it but that seems unlikely to me.

If I understand you correctly: IN that dialogue where I specify the shortcut key to open excel, I must choose maximize in that combo box so that the program will start maximized? I did it, but it doesn't solve the problem. The thing is guys: the computer I'm using is a del gx50 computer with 512 mb of ram. I have to unload jaws and load it again hundreds of times a day. I have to restart my computer hundreds of times a day, the i-t people at my work Is so unpleasant. I really have a hard time. I'm thinking of leaving the call centre and looking for a job in another division in the company. I'm working for south africa's tax organization. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dale Leavens Sent: 09 June 2006 01:48 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: something I have left out Does JAWS/F10 show it as open? Another possibility is that you can pass the Maximize parameter in the shortcut file. It is in the properties. This might help.

When I press the hot key, I get this strange behaviour in excel but when I press alt+tab to cycle between all my open programs, I can't find excel at all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
