Re: JAWS Becomes Sluggish When Writing Emails in Outlook
Randy Barnett
Hi Rick it’s kind of counterintuitive in this situation. The graphics acceleration is supposed to offload the graphics rendering to your video card that’s freeing up CPU cycles for your other programs. But for some reason with jaws it seems to do the opposite and slows things down. And yes it’s strictly for sighted people and graphics it doesn’t help us at all in fact as you’ve noticed it makes things worse at times. Although this is strange just like I said it’s actually offloading CPU load to the graphics card and sharing that processing load with the graphics processor.

Hi, What is this for, I mean to ask what is graphics acceleration needed when we do not use graphics in text to speech software? I have checked the box and my pc seemingly is running some better although not perfectly...

These can sometimes monkey around with Outlook. Obviously you don't want to disable an add-on that you need, but you'd be surprised what gets enabled. Poke around and turn off what you don't need. -----Original Message----- From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Bill White Sent: Wednesday, May 1, 2019 4:31 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: JAWS Becomes Sluggish When Writing Emails in Outlook Hi, Rick.

Disable hardware graphics acceleration check box checked Play animated GIFs check box not checked I as you can see, also have the JIF's disabled and in general, I have pretty much anything having to do with visual indicators or animations turned off wherever I find them. I believe there's another place in Outlook options where you can access the hardware acceleration checkbox, but this is the one I know of off hand. Cristóbal I hope this helps you, Rick.

It does emit air when it does this. I have to type out my mails elsewhere and then copy-paste them, which is a real pain. I also have to keep going to desktop or elsewhere and then coming up, for the short respite of being able to use Outlook seamlessly.
