but tech support from freedom scientific told me that it is not recommended
to use sleep mode when using jaws.

This isn't exactly a solution, but in vista, use "sleep" instead of
shutdown."
It speeds up the start-up process a great deal.
I still shut down my machine every couple days or so because I don't
understand what sleep does with respect to cleaning up temp files, etc.

Hi

Running jaws 9 on a laptop running vista premium.

It takes about 1 minute for jaws to be loaded after booting up my laptop.
I
could hear vista loaded and then a long silence before jaws speaks.

I asked my sighted wife to take a look at my laptop while the laptop is
being booted up.  She told me that visually nothing is happening before
jaws
speaks.

I went into the startup programs list of MSCONFIG.  I saw that jaws is
checked and arranged at the bottom of the list.  Could this be the cause
of
the problem?  If yes, how can I move jaws up the list?  If not, can you
please help me as its quite annoying to wait for a full minute before one
can use the laptop after booting up.

My jaws is set to start automatically at the window logon.  However, as I
am
the only user, there is no such prompt.

Thank you.
Alvin
