Glad you're having a better time of it hthan me. Yes, your machine is
faster. I have windows xp on a 2 gb ram machine which is like 1.8
ghz. It's from 2006. If you're running a more recent operating
system, you could be having better results. Also, if you are using
NVDA with VS 2010 you may be having different results. Re you using
the c++ environment? If I'm doing something wrong, I want to figure
it out because I would like to be ale to use this IDE. It's a
mainstream IDE which I'm likely to encounter in clases and jobs in
future so it behooves me to get familiar with it if possible. NVDA
was what made the dreamspark site usable for me. I only switched back
to jaws after clicking the download link. Did NVDA label the link for
you? It just said clickable to me. I assumed it was the download
link and it's what it was. One day, I may make the change to NVDA
full time. Not ready yet though, too set in my ways, I suppose and
Jaws works good with the stuff I use it for at work. Office 2007 is a
big deal for me right now and nvda didn't work well with powerpoint
and some parts of word but this is getting off topic.
