[gui-talk] JAWS sluggish startup

[Jen]

Hi Brian,

I respectfully disagree with John. I think you have a problem with your JAWS
settings.

Try this.

1. Press Alt, O to go to the "Options" menu.
2. Press B for "Basics..."
3. Press CTRL, J to press the "Automatically Start JAWS..." button.
4. Press Alt, A to uncheck the "Start JAWS at the logon screen for all
users" checkbox. This way, JAWS won't start when everyone in your family
logs on to that computer.
5. Make sure "Always" is selected at the "Start JAWS at the logon screen for
this user" combo box.
6. Press the "Okay" button.

Now, JAWS will only start on the logon screen for you.

I hope this helps.

Jen

Subject: [gui-talk] JAWS sluggish startup

Hello,

I've experienced an annoying issue over several years and am wondering 
if there is a solution.

I  have an Acer Veriton  Desktop running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.  
The computer has five user accounts for members of my family plus the 
administrative account.

I currently have JAWS 17 installed and have it set to speak at the 
log-on screen and also automatically start for my administrator account 
and my personal account.   .

Here's the problem.  When another user has logged out of the computer 
without re-starting it, if I attempt to log into the administrator 
account or my personal account, JAWS may take up to 10 minutes before it 
starts speaking.  JAWS will speak the log in prompt. Once I put in the 
username and password JAWS can take up to 10 minutes before it runs. If 
I try to run JAWS manually after my log in I will eventually end up with 
several instances of JAWS speaking at the same time and eventually have 
some kind of JAWS crash.

I have also seen instances when JAWS fails to speak at the log-in 
screen.  I wonder if this may happen because I have observed my family 
logging into their accounts before JAWS has loaded and spoken the log in 
prompt.

I first noticed this issue with JAWS 16 so I uninstalled and 
re-installed JAWS 17 but this did not solve this problem.

I'm planning to install JAWS 18 soon but am  not optomistic this will 
help the situation.  The only solution I've found thus far is that if 
the computer is already running I go directly from the log in screen to 
Shutdown options and then hit restart.  Then I can log into either my 
personal or administrative account and JAWS will start up promptly after 
log in.

I'm wondering if this is an unusual occurrance.  It seems I should be 
able to log in and log out of whatever account I choose and JAWS should 
not delay starting up once the log in is accomplished.

Brian
