[humanser] Jaws with forms question

[JD TOWNSEND]

Hi Jonathan:

I've run into a similar problem.  In my case the PC memory gets too busy and 
the machine slows down and, eventually, stops.  Forms in MS Word tend to 
take up lots of memory as does JAWS.  In my case the PC has only 1GB of RAM 
memory, with added memory the machine would work more quickly, smoothly and 
without freezing.  Extra memory is fairly inexpensive, so if the machine can 
handle it this might be a solution.  I attempt to find that my PC runs more 
smoothly when the hard drive is de-fragmented and extra or unused programs 
are uninstalled.

Personally I don't like formsjust because of this slow-down and stop issue. 
Window-Eyes has never frozen the machine, but it does slow down in forms.
