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.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cearbhall O'Meadhra" <cearbhall.omeadhra@xxxxxx> To: <vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2007 2:17 PM Subject: [vicsireland] Re: Aerlingus > Hello, Maureen, > > Prompted by Tony's message, I have had a look at Aer Lingus.ie and selected > a return flight to Boston finding each page clear and waiting patiently for > me to respond.
