This is a problem which started with, I believe, jaws v.8 and is still hounding me in the 10 beta. I've taken it to FS tech support to no avail. When I type a message in Outlook and to a much lesser degree in MS Word, jaws gradually starts to become very slow. To be more precise, the echo starts falling behind my typing. As time goes on jaws gets slower and slower. My typing gets to be a sentence ahead of the jaws echo. No, I'm not a fast typist. Also the cursor gets sluggish. If I stop to review what I have written, and do a control-home, it takes the cursor forever to get to the top of the document and arrows down very slowly at first to read the text. After a couple of lines, it wakes up and responds normally. This problem has been plaguing me for years, and I've consulted with tech support on many occasions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's not a resource issue.
