Maureen,
Paul traynor would be more use in responding to this question than I am!
You will find the information under "system" in Control Panel. If you open
the advanced tab and click on memory usage. This will show you whether
performance is optimised for programmes or system cache. Click on the
"change" button to see what you are currently set at. You should be
allocating more than the recommended values.
Be careful going into this setting as you could make a mess of things if
you
are not very clear on what you are doing.
You will be OK if you change nothing!
All the best,
Cearbhall

Dear Maureen,
Now that you mention it I seem to recall having similar trouble some
time
ago and finding that it was a problem of RAM. JAWS takes up so much
memory
and so do internet pages with images. How much RAM have you got? You
can see
it under System in Control Panel.
Can you check the settings under multi-media in the advanced section
of
Internet options and see if you are downloading images. If so, try
turning
off everything to do with images. See if that speeds things up.
The other thing to check is the size of your swap file. This is a
space that
Windows allocates to lay off bits of memory to make room for working
modules. If this is too small, the computer will slow down and even
crash
out. If your memory in RAM is limited this could also contribute to
the
problem and its effects would vary every time because it relates to
the
workload of the computer in handling all the applications that are
open.
All the best,
Cearbhall

Hello Cearbhall, I am using Internet Explorer and BT broadband. I am
after
going into it now and got in o.k. The page was very slow in coming
up.
Perhaps I am short of memory - could that be a factor? I have had no
trouble
with Ryanair though. My computer I think is nearly bunched, I am
having a
lot of trouble with it of late but I am waiting for Vista to come on
stream
before purchasing a new one. Any idea when this is going to roll for
the
home user?
Thanks for replying,
Maureen.
