Recently I've noticed that my Acer machine, an old workhorse from 2007 running Windows XP and Jaws 11.0, , takes a really long time to boot up. I can expect to wait about three minutes for this process to happen, and that seems quite unnecessary. I'd like to keep this thing going for as long as possible, and I've managed to eliminate a number of unnecessary processes, services, etc, and recently with the help of CCleaner removed a bunch of junk from my system which seems to have resulted in an appreciable increase in speed. The bootup process still seems to take an age, though, and it's a little frustrating to me that I can't see what's going on at bootup to determine what might be making it so sluggish. My work machine is also running XP, isn't much newer than this system, has a bunch of network drive/connections to establish and yet still boots in thirty seconds or less. I know there's a step by step bootup option you can enable so that you can see each step in the boot process as it happens and select whether you want to run this or that process, but that doesn't do me a lot of good as Jaws is always one of the last things to run. So, is there any way of making a bootlog that has the same information which I can read in a textfile? How about any tweaks or suggestions users here might have? I've found a number of useful sites, including process libraries that explain the function of various system and non-essential processes that might load at startup, but I'm wondering if anybody here might have any useful info to pass along. In addition to increasing bootup speed, I'm also keen on ways I might be able to decrease the general load on my CPU to make the system run a little more smoothly. I am certainly aware of the need to do defragmentations on the hard drive, but maybe the one that comes with Windows isn't the best solution out there? I've heard this from other folks, but I have no idea what programme i ought to use for this as I've always used the native Windows defrag. How about msconfig?

I am sure if you arrow to the adaptor in Other Devices and press the context menu key and arrow to Properties and press ENTEr and then read the ensuing dialog with the JAWS cursor (or equivalent) you will find that no driver is installed. No matter what it won't be recognized in the Network Adaptors section until a proper adaptor is installed. From your description it almost sounds like a Netgear WPN111 which most certainly requires a driver to be installed.

Re: [Blind-Computing] system tray and punctuation
Hi, about the JAWS email question: open the jaws window/menu, go to options, then voices, then voice adjustment... after that, tab several times until you here punctulation combo box. Change the value to some or none and then press Ok. If you never made changes to your voice profiles, press save as, then Give your profile a name or accept the default one, and then press Ok. Then, answer yes to the default profile question if you want. Now press escape and return to your program. This is only if you didn't made changes to your voices. If you did changed some voice settings previously, just press ok or enter after changing the punctulation and return to your program. If you are using JAWS 9 and older, open the options menu, go to voices, and then, global adjustment... then, tab and change the punctulation to none or some and press OK. regards, Adi Kushnir. - Original Message - From: yvonne oliver yvonne.oli...@tafn.org.uk To: blind -computing blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, January 23, 2011 12:19 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] system tray and punctuation hello i pose 2 questions and wondered if anyone can tell me how to do them 1 remove items from the system tray i don't however want to delete the programs just so they don't appear in the system tray when i press f11 2 how do i remove this awful jaws statement greater it is annoying when i read previous attached emails i hear jaws saying greater greater greater each time i down arrow thank you Yvonne For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ Send any questions regarding list management to: blind-computing-ow...@jaws-users.com For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ Send any questions regarding list management to: blind-computing-ow...@jaws-users.com
