Subject: RE: MAINTENANCE JAWS FOR ITS BETTER PERFORMANCE
General question: Does JAWS require periodic maintenance? If so, what
steps should I take?
Questions implied in the remainder of the text:
1. Do sighted users use computers differently than unsighted users?
2. If the answer to question one is in the affirmative, how might I ensure,
as an unsighted user, that when I use the machine, it will function in a
manner most appropriate to meet my needs?

Did the subscriber who asked this question say he or she was having problems
with Jaws? I don't think so. As I recall, it was just a general question
whether there were any steps a Jaws user ought to take in order to maintain
good Jaws performance. I'm not expert enough to know whether the answer is
simply "not really, except for normal good computer housekeeping," or to
remind the person about the convention for making system settings in Windows
considered optimal for Jaws, as on the Display page of the system settings
menus. But I'm pretty sure that there was no complaint of having trouble
with Jaws and seeking hints for restoring its lost efficiency or anything
like that, which is what it sounds as if people are responding to.
If I'm wrong, sorry. But if I heard right, then we could wind up with a long
thread of well-meaning suggestions in response to problems that weren't even
posed.

That is a possibility, not sure how much of a difference it would make.
Pretty easy to create a new user account: Control Panel -> Users.
It's possible that the system as a whole could use some general software
maintenance: unneccessary programs running, spyware, etc.
HTH,
