   it is strange,as I am very cautious,certainly did not have any virus , but 
thought I better find out where Disc cleanup was on windows 7, I only  deleted 
I think temporary files, obviously as the windows 7 desktop has just had a new 
Hd  last month  it should not have needed it,, re xp,well in the past I once 
had a friend a jaws user using xp,who said"I do a disc clean up regularly, it 
being Good House keeping. well I am sure it was the cause since I did nothing 
else I was lucky in such snow the lady who comes weekly turned up. She does 
have a computer but mainly used by her husband and family. By the way I am also 
wary of C cleaner, I did once read all the conditions,and they said before 
using do a complete back up, whilst my dell win 7 has external backups,this old 
laptop has not.  regards dorothy

    Exactly. I'm only suggesting it as a place to start, if you haven't already.

    Dorothy is right to warn against deleting all items. After you run the disc 
 clean operation, you're presented with several check-box items. I check 
temporary Internet files, temp files, the recycle bin and related items. I've 
read cautions against checking "compress old files." 

    If that doesn't work, Mostafa's mention of a possible virus shouldn't be 
ruled out. The virus attack I sustained several years ago began with 
inconsistent effects on my computer before turning into a total disaster. No 
harm running a virus scan. 

    I apologize if I seem to be writing about basics, but I'm trying to be sure 
I'm clear.

    Hi Adrien,

    Are you refering to the one where you go to the properties of the harddrive 
and choose the disk clean?

      Omar,

      There are so many possible explanations for these problems, but I'd start 
by doing a disc clean. Just so you know, I've used JAWS 10 and IE8 on my 
system, which is XP and not your XP Home, without a hitch. That doesn't mean 
they aren't implicated in your case. However, I'm guessing the problem lies 
somewhere else. A disc clean, if you haven't done it for a while, has a good 
chance of eliminating false positives. 

      If you're unfamiliar with MS's disc clean, please post back.

      Hello,

      I'm using jaws 10 on a windows xp home system. I have internet explorer 8 
installed. I wanted to run this by here to try and pinpoint whether or not this 
is a jaws 10 issue or not. Sometimes, when I open internet explorer or outlook 
express, the computer freezes for about 30 seconds, then the entire screen goes 
black and I end up having to restart my computer. Also, when this happens, i 
sometimes lose cookies from internet explorer that have my password saved from 
my GMail account, for example, and i end up having to go back to my gmail or 
facebook accounts to re-enter the info. Has anyone else had similar experiences?

      Thanks.
