On my old creaky slow system, it takes less than 30 seconds for jaws to load. I know it takes longer for higher end systems though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert R.

It takes a good minute after Windows XP professional loads for Jaws to load. I just did a restart and it was 63 seconds after windows loaded before Jaws loaded. I am using Windows XP professional, Jaws 5.00.844 pro on a Gateway Profile 5 with a Pentium 4 3 gig processor and 512 MB Ram. I do have 6 small programs starting in the system tray, the same 6 programs I had start in my old pentium3 Windows 98 computer where Jaws would start in 20 or less seconds.
