Once you have said yes, the dialogue shouldn't appear anymore, when it does come up, simply press Alt + Y for yes. If you are not saying yes to this dialogue, that may be the root of the problem. HTH, Rick Justice Tomorrow's another day, another way! and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tammy" <ms.sunflowe...@gmail.com> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2016 6:32 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws jamming up my computer I'm not sure how much ram this computer has. 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!
