Hi Tammy, Try the following to find out how much RAM you have installed: 1. Open your Control Panel. 2. Find, System Link, & press enter. 3. Move your Jaws cursor to the PC cursor. If you have a numpad the keystroke is, Insert / Jaws key + Jaws cursor / Numpad minus key. 4. Press, Control + Home key, to take the cursor to the top of the page. 5. Now, down arrow 1 line at a time & you'll come to a line that says, Installed Memory Ram xxxGB. This is the amount of ram you have.
Take care. Mike Sent from my, iBarstool.

I find where it says "system information" but don't find information. As for what is running, Jaws and Outlook. Sometimes I'll have 1 document open. Now, it doesn't seem to take much to jam it up. I'm not doing anything different than I was before all of this started. I wish they would down size Jaws. It has grown into such a resource monster.

How much memory, RAM, do you have installed? What programs are running when you encounter this Jaws problem? Take care. Mike Sent from my, iBarstool.

JAWS is a memory hog. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Tammy Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2016 4:46 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws jamming up my computer Here's something for you to scratch your head over. Grin! I am running Jaws 17 on a Windows 8.1 laptop. Randomly, Jaws will jam up my computer. I can't do anything with it until it lets me. When it finally gives in, I can get other sounds on it but I have to relaunch Jaws. Ok, I go to the desktop and launch it from there. Every time it pops up the user interface asking if I want to allow this program to make changes to my computer. This is geting very old and annoying! I have already worked with Microsoft accessibility and FS. I had esset, Norton and Avast removed from my system. The only anti virus I have is windows defender. FS upgraded my Jaws from 14 to 17. The problem 1st started with 14. Problem continues. Ok, I would love to hear your opinions. Thanks so much!
