You need another gig of Ram. This should cost around $75 and should help things a lot. 256 MB is the bear minimum. Also uninstall that Spamviper from add remove programs. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Suzanne Rountree" <suzyq69@xxxxxxxxxx> To: "real-eyes" <real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: September 21, 2007 2:36 PM Subject: [real-eyes] PC slow and footpedal issue Hi again. thought the list has been too quiet so have more questions.... Here are the numbers I have but most dont' mean anything to me. XP home pentium 4 processor x86 1.99 gh 256 mb ram 27.5 g free space 1.96 g virtual memory 61.9 mg available physical memory WE version 5.1 using jaws 4.51, but have 5 and 7 demo on here. Why would my PC be so slow? Also, is at it's slowest after launching OE. when I hit insert numb pad 3 i hear something like connected to pop.spamviper.com, scanning mesage 1 and gives a percentage, downloading message 1, etc. I am using the same ISP on this home PC as my work PC and that doesn't happen over there. Just puts the blurb at the bottom of the email I send sayin was scanned by spam viper. Could this be why my PC is so slow? As a message is coming in my PC is useless. Maybe an OE setting? I don't have norton any more, just AVG for now. I don't usually run anything more than two applications at once, or maybe go to google to look something up for work. Even with OE not open, The footpedal stutters when I tap it to rewind. Like tapping four times should back up about four seconds but when I press to play it stutters four times very slowly before playing again. I am supposed to start new job next week and desperate to get this figured out. Is there any way to get things faster without bying another PC? I think this is a 2000 Dell 2500.
