Hi, I am running Windows XP Home, Jaws 5.0844, and it takes Jaws about 30 seconds to load after the Windows sound. I do have several programs loading at startup, but is there a way to load Jaws before these programs load? I have Jaws running from the System Tray. I have tried using "Run Jaws Automatically" and also unchecked this item and put Jaws in the Startup menu. Nothing changed as far as the amount of time it takes to load Jaws.
