Hi Kevin, Are you on a network? Sounds like it may be looking or a network device. This would take some tracking down, but could be done. All the best Steve _____ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kevin Morris Sent: Wednesday 30 September 2009 07:35 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] COMPUTER RUNNING VERY SLOW Hi all, I have a desktop running Windows Vista Home Premium and Jaws 10. I'm finding that, on logging in my PC frequently takes several minutes before Jaws starts voicing (it voices at the log-in screen), however after logging in it goes silent for several minutes. My wife tells me that the egg timer is running! On clicking on Internet Explorer 7 IE takes an eternity to open and even when it does open it often doesn't work with Jaws and I have to close IE, (Jaws then starts voicing again and, on clicking on IE again it starts to work with Jaws. Any suggestions as to what is happening hear please? Cheers, Kevin
