Well, there is a rather imposing number of recommended settings to enable
Jaws to work more efficiently. These suggestions are available from a
variety of sources, you likely already aware of them.
Like others on this list, I have found Service Pack 2 to be more of a
problem than help on some of my computers, forced with two of them to
restore the operating system to an earlier, pre-service pack 2 state.
Good luck.
Jerry
