An extra gig of ram may help. Other-wise: a machine which should doo the job well.
Have wondered lately whether there is a new type of problem with mirror drivers for the video display, but really don't know.

Hi JosephIt is a dell laptop with 1 gig ram and the processor is: Intel® CoreT 2 Duo T5500 Processor (1.66GHz,667MHz,2MB L2 cache). I have a 120 gb hard drive. I have this problem with jaws when only jaws and AVG are running as well as the mouse pointer and the network connections showing up in the system tray. I did think maybe upgrading the ram could help but I know of someone using zoom text with 2 gb ram who has a similar problem so not sure that will help. The computer itself is running fast with 1 gb ram as well. Hope htis helps.Cheers, Louise. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph Lee" <joseph.lee22590@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2007 3:59 PM Subject: RE: Jaws 8 and vistaHi Louise, What is the technical speciications i.e. processor speed, RAM amount on your laptop?

Cheers, Josephos -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Louise Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2007 6:49 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Jaws 8 and vista Hi, I have just brought a new laptop which has vista premium on it and I have upgraded jaws and installed the latest version. I was wondering if anyone else had been finding that jaws was slow at times especially when typing characters into word, email or programmes like live messenger. Currently there seems to be about a 2 second delay between typing a character and hearing it spoken. I haven't seen any messages about this in the archives so don't know if it is not a common problem and if it is, does anybody have any ideas of settings I could change?
