Melissa, your theory would make since, but my system works perfectly
with all releases of version 11. Everything I mentioned goes away
when I switched back to using it.
It is definitely something extra they did to the Virtual Buffer, the
way v 12 interfaces with the video card... something. Problems only
happen when using Internet Explorer 8 it seems.
I have 4 GB of RAM installed, and am running Windows 7 home premium.
This PC is quite capable of handling even the most memory intensive
applications, except for JAWS v12.

I also have a fairly high end machine, with Windows 7, 64 bit, with a quad

Are you sure it isn't with your settings, or available ram? I don't have
any lag times, in fact, it's probably the most responsive version to date.
I can't replicate any of the problems you mentioned.
Try playing with your ram settings, and also check what programs you have
running at startup, maybe that has something to do with the problems you're
experiencing.
Good luck,
Melissa

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Sorry, but I need to rant about v12 of JAWS!
Good morning,
I've been a supporter of JAWS since version 2.x. Always have stayed
up-to-date on my SMA. Never have I been totally dismayed with a major update
until version 12.x.
This has got to be the worst release of JAWS I've ever tried.
First graphics it use to read as so, it now recognizes them as buttons.
Quite irritating when you use quick navigation keys to jump to certain
elements of a web page to read it faster.
And it is quite the memory hog! JAWS 12.x crashes so much on my high-end
Windows 7 machine, I've gone back to using 11.x. Think it has something to
do with the Virtual Ribbon or new fangled Config manager, who knows.
Anycase, it is very irritating to be reading a web page, only to have it go
silent for 3 minutes, and then JAWS comes back.
Sorry HJ, but I hate v12 of JAWS and have gone back to using v11.x
perminantly. It's more stable and doesn't crash every 5 minutes.
Wish you allowed us to switch the config manager back to the old
one. Do away with using this new Virtual Ribbon. Give us a choice to switch
them on and off.
If I get booted for expressing my feelings on this list, so be it.
Never done this before, until now.
Feel better getting this off my chest. Thanks for listening.
