Well Francis, all I can say is that Jaws 7 didn't seem to make much
difference to mine. At a guess it takes up to a minute before the Windows
start up sound, and then Jaws is another 15 seconds. If you're not talking
of much more than this, accept it, go and make a cup of tea. Otherwise it's
a matter of disabling some of these background tasks, which probably isn't a
good idea.
Dorothy, if you're talking about Scan Disk now being much quicker than it
once was, that's probably just that most of the problems have now been
sorted.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Slow boot up
Read that one with interest.
Also all the files and folders ones Seeing Tony Berry uncover a ally vanished Emails was amazing like the dance the seven veils! Re the slow bootup a technician once told and this wans on a previous computer that he had " given me a large amount of memory" I said how come? I have 512 of memory or whatisleft. He said I unloaded and reloaded your computer and put the Firewall up with the Anti-virus and it gave you backa lot of memory. I asked for clarification he said the Firewall was not close to the Antivirus and this was the reason for the slowness . I then did a full system scan and to my surprise in stead of taking 1 hour to do this it as I recall did it in 17 minutes. Can anyone expand on this it is a huge difference. Mine is a bit slow now but I expect this as some heavy programmes and the Firewall and Windows is on auto.. I just though it was interesting. I still donot understand the business of RAM. am told different types of memory. Dorothy.
I imagine
that at the start of the day all these things the Firewalland the auto are doing their vital job.
Ps if you thereadfter leavein standby does all this still take the same time?
