[nfbcs] web forms slow with JAWS 16

[Nicole Torcolini]

	Yes, turn off everything that you can. In run, type msconfig, go to
the startup tab, and uncheck any programs that you have installed, such as
Dropbox. I would say that 8 gb is the minimum amount of ram required to run
JAWS. I had a laptop once that had only 4, but, when I went back to it
recently, I do not know how I got by. My current laptops at home and work
both have 16 gb.

Hey Ryan,

When I started college I had a computer with jaws and 2 gb RAM also. Like
Nicole suggests, jaws does not work very well with that amount of RAM. NVDA
requires much less, and that is the most probable reason, in my opinion,
that NVDA is working. It may help to go into the task manager to turn off
any packground processes that you don't need to have running. Things like
dropbox run in the background unless turned off. I did this when I had
performance issues with jaws.

Kevin
P.S. I have 8 gb of RAM now and it is much better.

I am amazed that JAWS works with that little ram.

Hello.  I am working on a computer with Windows 7 Professional 32-bit, JAWS
16 and Internet Explorer 11. The processor is an Intel 2 GHZ processor with
2 cores with 2 GB RAM.  When I am trying to fill out forms with JAWS, it
takes at least a few seconds for JAWS to tell me each letter  I am typing.
An example of a form I have tried is
http://www.freedomscientific.com/Training/Surfs-Up/WebTrack.htm.  When I use
the NVDA screen reader, I am able to type into the same form with no
problem.  This makes me think this is a JAWS problem.  I have already tried
uninstalling JAWS and shared components then reinstalling JAWS, but the
problem with forms hasn't gone away.  I've tried resetting Internet
Explorer, but that didn't help.  Is there anything else I can try?
