Hi Steve,

Windows 7 uses mirror drivers, where XP didn’t.  I believe you do need to start 
it the way Zoomtext says.  Currant version of Zoom is 10 by the way.

Subject: [ATI] JAWS and Zoomtext at startup problem

Hello, I just received a new computer at my business office.

It has Windows 7 operating system, I haven’t loaded Office 2010 yet.

It has the latest version of Zoomtext, V9.1 and JAWS V 13.

With this software, I can’t have JAWS and Zoomtext both come on at start up.

JAWS starts up first and Zoomtext comes on with a message saying that Zoomtext 
has to come on before JAWS.

With my old XP operating systems, I am able to start both at start up.

But this is with Zoomtext V. 9.

As I still have a small amount of vision in my left eye, I get some benefit 
from the Zoomtext color enhancements and magnification.

And basically use JAWS for speech.

I would like to have JAWS and Zoomtext both come on at start up, JAWS for 
speech and Zoomtext for color enhancement and magnification.

Is there a way to do this?

The way I have it right now is, I have Zoomtext come on at start up with color 
enhancement and magnification turned on with out speech.

Then I have JAWS in the start menu, so after Zoomtext is up, I enter the letter 
J in the start edit box and press enter and JAWS starts up with speech.

And this isn’t all that bad, but I would like for both of the programs to start 
at start up.

Zoomtext with color enhancement and magnification and JAWS for speech.

Can this be done using Windows 7 and the current versions of JAWS and Zoomtext?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, and sorry for the lengthy explanation.

Steve
