Just an opinion, but defragging rarely makes any noticeable difference
in today's pcs because the hard drives of today are so fast compared to
those of the day when the idea of defragmenting was first conceived.
 
Anyone who doubts this is welcome to time some activity such as copying
a large file; do it a few times to get the best time, then defrag and do
it all over again.  I'd be very surprised to hear of anyone finding a
noticable difference with any pc new enough to run xp or vista.

        Hi peter,
             Maybe it's not jaws it might be your computer.  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.

                I've noticed that FS haven't bothered to fix the issue
where log off/shutdown takes over 30 seconds to happen whilst running
JAWS 10. 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.
