[blparent] Shopping online question

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Jerri,

Yes, if your version of JAWS is older, it will run slower on websites
and newer computer programs. JAWS updates happen because other media
like websites and operating systems are constantly updating. It may also
be due to your operating system and how old that is. I have JAWS 10 on
my laptop and it runs slower on websites. And it could also be due to
how many graphics are on a website. I'm no tech expert and only speak
from experience, so someone else can probably answer this much better
than I can, grin.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Ok so I don't know if it's alright to ask technical questions here or
not, but if not, then please if anyone has any tips for me email me at
jjmilton at cox.net 

So I've been trying to do some shopping on line and I'm pulling my hair
out. I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm using an ancient version of Jaws,
so I don't know if it's part of the problem, but on some web sites the
Toys R Us one for example, it takes Jaws sometimes three to four minutes
before he'll begin reading the page. Then no matter what link I go to
I'm waiting another three to four minutes. So buying anything becomes
extremely time consuming. It also happens on the food network web site.
Oh, also on the toy web site, Jaws will sometimes stop all together. Can
anyone help me out? Like I said feel free to email me off list.  Thanks
so much.

 

Jeri
