I'm using a third party system monitoring and tweaking program called AnVir Task Manager


I have a full version that I obtained as a free install from www.giveawayoftheday.com

but you had to get it that day. they do have a free version, and it will probably give the information you want, which it puts in the system tray, CPU, disk, memory, and network usage each in there own little icon, and lots more if you open any of them or the main application window.

there site is:
http://www.anvir.com/

HTH,

Inthane -- how do you get jaws to report system load? Do you get it from the
task manager? I'd like to check cpu usage now and then.
Thanx

ah that it will Jamal, but I have unfortunately  run into a problem with
your little Gem.

I started using the OCR abilities, and it does a good job of OCR'ing things
so far for me, but... the load up is bad on the system, and large items
(many I have are well over 50 pages, some run into the 300 + size) will
generally, I should say so far always, keep building load on my system until
CPU usage is 100% and its not done with 60 pages.

and then it freezes up my system, I can alternate windows, I can get to my
desktop, but nothing will run or actuate, even running device manager is
slow as a snail and I get a not responding notice in there and have to kill
it, losing the stuff that was being worked on, and winding up with a zero.

got any ideas?

FYI -- PDF2TXT
http://EmpowermentZone.com/p2tsetup.exe

converts PDFs to text *much* faster than Adobe Reader.  It can convert
any number of PDFs in a directory with a single command.  It can convert
PDFs that Adobe Reader either cannot or will not convert. <grin>

Ah, but perhaps Fox It reader hasn't got the code to tell screen readers
to
activate its virtual buffer. I found Adobe Reader 9 to be reasonably fast
at
opening PDF files and of course is accessible.
