Hi, this does make things harder. Because windows 9x does not allow you = to look at the task manager. So lets do this run ms config. Go to = selective startup. Mark every check box except for load startup group options. = Now go to the startup group tab and mark the option for jaws. Reboot. Let = us know if you get better respons. Then we will ask you for a list of = things loaded at start up and we will start putting them back tell we find the nasty little problem. This is much easier working with windows xp. =20 -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On = Behalf Of Judith Bron Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 6:23 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: speaking of speech...
