I suspect you may need some sighted assistance here. To resolve the
Video problem, you may need to boot up into what is called "Safe Mode"
when you will have no speech. However, by looking at Control Panel,
System, it should be possible to identify what component of your
system is causing the failure. With any luck, it may be as simple as
corrupted drivers, which in turn can be reinstalled. However, as I
say, this is a process for a sighted person.
On the boot up issue, this is probably due to Vista's rather
comprehensive Indexing of your system. It is supposed to make
searching faster, but personally I have my reservations and so I have
turned off disk drive indexing on my own system.

Hi folks,
Using Jaws9.0.519 and Vista Home Premium. I am finding that my PC is
taking longer and longer to start-up and "Jaws", is still having a
gurgling fit between 5 to 15 minutes after it has loaded, sometimes
lasting for some 5 minutes. I tried previously suggested fixes, those
being checking applications being loaded at start-up and all those
were Windows programmes which I was cautious about changing the status
of. I already delete Temporary Internet files nearly on a daily basis
and with Vista there is a "defragmenting schedule set, so when I tried
the "defrag", suggestion , it stated it was not required. I couldn't
find the uncheck "stereo enhancement", suggestion but that is not
unusual for me.
However, I have now lost output to my monitor! Not a problem for me
but to my sighted wife renders the PC unusable( No, she can't cope
with Jaws). checking "Problem reports & solutions", via the Control
panel. It seems I have had a "Blue screen error", which when first I
noted it, it said it was due to "Real Player". I rarely ever use that
prog, so maybe caused by an auto update.... When I try to check for a
solution it just says "No new solution", and/or "researching". This
is now getting annoying!
Reading up on "Blue screen error", I have come across numerous sites
stating this can be caused by problems with "Windows register", and
suggestion a "cleaning/repair" software required. There seem to be
many such software and many sites stating that one is better then the
other but nearly all claim to improve performance and my start-up
problem as well. Mind, most state is "Free", to download but the free
part being just the scanning part of the software and the important
bit being the repairing part needing to be purchased. Again, just
finding out the cost seems to be last bit of info to be divulged
normally at the end of the installation process....
Has anyone used such a cleaning/repair programme, was it successful
and how user friendly was it with "Jaws"? Any help would be
gratefully received
Mark.
