This is an irresponsible suggestion. Better to learn about what you're getting rid of rather than to get rid of everything but these things. You could be asking for an awful lot of trouble. In addition, MSConfig is meant as a diagnostic tool, not a final solution. Better to actually properly disable what you want to disable.

Dell is notorious for loading up a bunch of extraneous stuff. In the Start menu select Run and type in msconfig. This is a multi tab screen I believe it is the last tab which tells you which programs its loading up. I suggest that you uncheck virtually everything but jaws and your virus protection.

It's for me very infrequent and hard to duplicate, but once it happens jfw isn't usable at least not without a reboot, it won't read. I've found that using run before startup seems to make the problem more pronounced, i think it's something video related, or with multiple accounts on the xp box, but haven't got anything else on this.

In most cases reading with the pc cursor is fine. When I'm right arrowing reading tabs though it won't read the name of the tab either in the Jaws cursor or the pc cursor, all it says is tab. Does anybody have any idea what might be wrong? Thanks.
