Hi Barbara. that could well be causing the problem, especially if you have
a graphics card that is integrated into the mother board rather than being a
separate graphics card. Separate graphics card tend to have their own
dedicated memory for processing graphics where as the graphics cards that
are part of the mother board tend to share some of that precious 256 MB of
RAM.
The best thing to do, if possible, is to get a RAM upgrade. I always felt
it was boardering on the deceitful to even sell PCs with 256MB of RAM to
work with windows XP. 512MB of RAM is really what I would recommend if
system crashes are to be kept to a minimum.

Graham

Hi Barbara. Do you have a My Computer icon on your desktop? if so, press
Windows D to get to the desktop and m until you get to My Computer. Press
alt enter and you will bring up a property sheet for My computer. You can
also get to this by going to Control Pannel and selecting system.
You should be on the general tab in this multitab dialog box which is what
you want. You will probably want to read this with the JAWS cursor so press
Insert with Dash (numpad top right) to route JAWS cursor to PC and use the
arrow keys to read the dialog box.
Alternatively in this dialog box you can use insert control w to
"virtualise" the contents of the dialog box. use control a to select the
resulting text and control c to copy it to the clipboard. You can then
paste it into an email to the list if you require further help. If you
choose this method, good luck with the keystroke. it is not the easiest to
acomplish!
Regards
Graham

Thanks for all the responses to my question about JAWS running slowly when
several programs are opened together.
From comments on this list I gather it might be because the RAM memory isn't
large enough? Someone described how to check this the other day but I
deleted the message by mistake, could someone repeat the instructions
please?
Thanks.
