The only program in your message you mention that I use is Jaws, and I've
had my computer, with XP now since March and have only had 1 lock up and
that was my fault, my laptop I've had since January, that hasn't locked up
yet at all. With windows 98SE I might see a lock up once a month, but even
that I'm not sure it had anything to do with Jaws or not. I'd say as many
did as didn't.
