Hi all, Whenever I wish to launch the internet, I seem to have to wait a good few seconds to a minute or so before I can do anything. I have noticed this problem for a while and wondered why it is and whether or not I can do anything about it. This also seems to happen when launching Microsoft Word and I have to wait a similar length of time before I can do anything with it. Outlook launches without too much difficulty and I am only waiting a few seconds before I can read any mail. I am using JAWS version 5 and Windows ME. regards Paul. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
