It could be that your virus program is running in the background, and
everything will be fine when it finishes, or that windows installed
updates and the installation has to complete. Does JAWS continue to
respond slowly after a few minutes? Is there something in your
start-up folder that is holding things up. Years ago MS Office was
starting when I started my computer, and that slowed things down a
lot till the start-up business was done.
It sounds like a good lap top. So here are some more things to try.
1. Run a complete virus scan.
2. Run scandisk, setting windows to repair bad segments.
3. . Run disk defragmenter.
4. Do a system restore to before the problem began. Did you install
anything new?
Good luck!

I do not think your laptop is to old.
1. Have you tried rebooting?
2. If you have, and Jaws is still behaving oddly, then you might try
running a repair of jaws in the event something got changed or corrupted.

Folks, since today, all of a sudden when I boot my PC, jaws takes forever to
run. It now takes almost a minute to say, jaws for windows is ready, but
here's the thing. It doesn't even say, jaws for windows is ready. Instead it
says, jaws, u. It says jaws u quite frequently now instead of jaws for
windows is ready. This is certainly odd. Also, I get this error message with
Easy CD DA Extractor when I try to rip a CD. I wonder whether it could be
the age of my laptop? I got it in 2009. It's a windows vista 64 bit dell
machine.
