hmmm, what version of windows are you running? 98? XP? XP cleans up after itself pretty well I've had it on this work computer for over 2 years and everything still runs fairly well. I've had xp on my home computer for 4 years and it is starting to slow down quite a bit. 3 or 4 minutes at bootup. 98SE didn't clean house very well and can drasticly slow down after a year or 2 other things you might think about, is getting a cleaner for ad aware, spy ware, etc. Defragging all that fun stuff. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeanette To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2006 2:09 PM Subject: Re: Can Jaws slow down your computer? What else could cause computers to be slow? I have alot of memory and ram so It should not be slow but it is.

Well, it's no secret JFW can at times be resource intensive. But, somehow, I doubt the performance hit you take running it will be very much different from if you didn't have it running. Particularly on today's computers. I've run several processes I know full well are more resource intensive than JFW, and this computer's nothing special, but it was still fairly fast all things considered.
