Thanks, but no it's not that. I have a six month old duel core PC with 2GB RAM in it. It all shuts down very quickly with JAWS 9 or earlier and there are no performance issues iwth my PC at all. It is only when I am running JAWS 10 that this issue occurs and whilst it is waiting to log off the hard drive doesn't make much sound at all, as if the PC is just waiting there. Then after a while it suddenly springs bakc to life again. As I say, it works fine without JAWS 10 running. Also, my hard drive was newly formatted a few days ago and the only software on the PC is Vista, Office 2003 and Live Mail and Messenger.

I noticed when I had XP running on a slower computer the programs like Jaws and other programs took longer to run. You might want to defrag your computer. Do this overnight so that you won't have the temptation to do anything with it. Then after that see if things work better.

It still only does this with JAWS 10, not any other version of JAWS or whilst JAWS isn't running. Anybody else still having this. Also notice the issue of JAWS jumping in to forms mode as a page has loaded still exists. Thought they might have given us the option of JAWS not going in to forms mode when a page loads as myself and several others have raised it. Peter
