Hi Ray, Jaws is slow or freezes in Contacts if the preview pane is shown. The easiest solution is to use the classic folders option in the folder option dialog - this hides the preview and details panes in folders of all types, including contacts. So, just open the folder options dialog from the tools menu. The first control is the tasks group of radio buttons. Select the Use windows classic folders option.

He's running JAWS 10 on a Windows Vista computer with 2GB of RAM. What will happen is this. When he goes into Windows Mail, then enters the contact folder by pressing ctrl+shift+c, he can arrow down the first three contacts and they are read right away. Starting with the fourth contact, when you arrow down, JAWS doesn't read anything for a good 10 seconds or so. I have checked the folder and it shows that it is maximized. The other issue is when I press alt-F4 to get out of contacts and back into Windows Mail, it takes a long time, maybe over a minutes to close the contacts. He's getting all of his Windows Updates. I checked and changed his screen resolution and this did not fix the problem. I went into the start-up options in msconfig and didn't find anything I could disable. Has anyone else experienced this and if so,how did you fix it? He hasn't had anyone with sight see if the contacts folder scrolls better with JAWS off, but my assumption is it would. Any help on this is appreciated. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
