Windows 10, JAWS 17 and sluggishness
|
Karen Reynolds <reynolds-karen@...>
Hi,
I'm first off having trouble learning Windows 10, made worse by the recent upgrade that changed several things I was doing, but my computer and JAWS often seems very slow in responding. In particular, I'm having trouble getting JAWS to stay talking or in some cases with IE 11 to be able to use the JAWS cursor at all. I know this is a little vague, well, maybe a lot, but I'm not sure what specific question to ask because I don't really know what's causing these issues. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get JAWS to work more consistently and get rid of some of the stuff running in the background? And what should I get rid of? I've only recently upgraded to it so any help would be appreciated. Karen

I had similar issues and ended up doing a clean install of Windows 10 which

helped a lot. It's a big job as it means reinstalling all your programs and potentially some drivers so not to be taken lightly. Having said that although Internet Explorer 11 is working better it still freezes and crashes from time to time. One day I'll get around to installing another browser. That's certainly a less drastic step than reinstalling Windows 10 (smiles). John

Which OS did you upgrade from, and have you tried JAWS repair to see if it fixes some issues? I have forwarded this question to a Windows 10 mailing list in hopes that someone here and there can help you. Cheers, Joseph

It might be less drastic, but not headache free.

Hi John,

I agree, when I upgraded my laptop which is almost 5 years old the experience was quite poor, I then did a complete fresh install and it improved by 100% and I had few issues since. The good thing is that once you upgrade a computer via the upgrade option you can then do a fresh install even if you don't have a Windows Key and it should activate just fine. Regards, Sieghard

Hi,

Thank you all for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that this is doable. As was stated it takes hours to get everything back. My husband would have to do that and right now he does not have hours to do it. I ran across someone else who mentioned that I could turn off things working in the background that I don't need or use. Would this help? If so, how would I do this? And how do I know what is what so I don't accidentally turn off important stuff to the programs I am running which are Outlook, Word, JAWS, Openbook, Humanware Companion, Adobi Internet Explorer, and AVG. I think that is all of them. Karen

One way is going to Programs and Features, selecting Freedom Scientific JAWS, open context menu and select change (or should say repair). Cheers, Joseph

Does this repair JAWS or Windows 10? I think my problem is more with Windows and because so much is running in the background that JAWS does not work well. I could be wrong though Karen

I tried to do the Jaws repair, but when I went into programs and features, found many different names under freedom scientific and when I right clicked to bring up the context menu, Jaws read move, restore, etc., but no repair choice. Please advise.

Hi, Lauren. You don't do the repair from the JAWS program
installed on your computer. The repair is done by using the installation file
for JAWS which you download from Freedom Scientific's website. It must be the
file with the exact version number which is installed on your computer, and it
must correspond to 32-bit or 64-bit, whichever your system uses.
Once you have this file downloaded from Freedom Scientific,
here is how to do the repair with the best results, according to Freedom
Scientific.
1. Place a copy of the Jaws executible version that you want to repair into the main root of the " C " drive. For example; If you are running Jaws11 most recent you would paste a copy of " J11.0.1430-32bit.exe " into the main root of the " C " drive. To open the main root of the " C " drive, go to the desktop, press enter on My Computer, press enter on Local disk C, and now you have the main root of the " C " drive open.
2. With the Jaws " .exe " pasted into the "C" drive, highlight the " .exe ", and press F2 as if you were going to edit this line of text. now press control + C to copy this Jaws executable, press escape to close the edit field, and press Alt + F4 to close the C drive. What you want to do is place just the title of the Jaws version into the Windows Run Dialogue box and not the file. If you were to place the Jaws executable into the Run box without copying as you did as per the instructions above you would have pasted the whole file into the Run Box instead of just the title.
3. Now that you have just the title copied to the clipboard, press Windows key + R to open the Run Dialogue Box. Type, remember to type a capitalC ," C:\ " without the quotes or spaces and press control + V to paste the Jaws title, press your end key to take the cursor to the end of the title and type in the following " /type repair" without the quotes but, with the spaces . Below is what your line of text should look / read like.
C:\J15.0.5056ENU-64bit.exe /type repair
Read character by character to make sure you have put in the proper spaces, Forward & back slashes and text. press the home key to go to the front of the title and press enter to start the repair.
