[blindLaw] Do any of you use ZoomText or fusion?

[Singh, Nandini]

I use neither program. However, it could be a memory issue. If you have multiple assistive software running, Word docs, browsers, and email, that can be quite demanding on the system. I have always added more memory to help with the demands put on my work laptop, and I try to buy personal laptops with generous solid state memory for the same reason.

I often get blue screens and lose some of what I was working on.
Sometimes I exit ZoomText and restart it, but just two nights ago I was working on a mini note for a competition and it stopped working three times during the night, and crashed or a blue screen appeared right before I wanted to turn my materials in. Do you think it is my Dell?
Is there anything I can do?
I take timed final exams and in all of them it just blue screened, and I had to force restart it.
I lost half of legislation and regulation. The good thing is that I save as soon as I finish a paragraph so for the others I lost time and not much material.
Do you think that i also becaus I have a lot of Word docs opened at the same time?
