Hi Barbara Which browser are you using? I've found that using Internet Explorer, pages that are heavy with Java Script and the like will load faster as the Explorer Java engine processes the information so slowly, which will cause page times to appear to load sluggishly. fireFox does a much better job of loading these types of pages. Jaws 9 Also works pretty well with Firefox. Cheers Darren H coming soon to a browser near you, a site dedicated to the TV show Smallville. ----- Original Message ----- From: Barbara Wilson To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, October 03, 2008 11:34 AM Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: RAM and the Internet Sorry, forgot to say I am using JAWS 9, Windows XP pro and BT Broadband.

Neither side would take responsibility, but the company I purchased it off did send me the replacement RAM to get fitted. I am in the process of arranging to have a further 1GB of RAM fitted so I will have 1536MB. My question is: I am having a lot of problems recently using the Internet. Pages take ages to load and sometimes when I type in an address and press Enter, I get nothing and have to close down it's taking so long. When I use the cursors nothing is spoken and pressing the Tab only reads the address I have typed in. This problem gets worse in the evenings when the computer has been running most of the day. Is this due to the low RAM (512MB) or could it be caused by another problem? I have Eset Smart Security running, so don't think there are any nasties getting in. It's just making any kind of online work pointless. If I knew it was the RAM it would be fine as it's getting sorted in the next few days. Thanks for any advice.
