hi chris, thanks for letting me know. This is such ignorance on microsofts part. I meman whyx on earth force people to guinea pig their new stuff? I cannot afford to keep buying new jaws versions all the time . their older messengers worked fine, I had been using the one prior to this 9 version and now I am without a messenger, just great. they just don't care, do they? reagrds chrissy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 01, 2009 8:42 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] windows live messenger 9 forced to install > Chrissie, I'm afraid to inform you that your JAWS version is far from > supported when it comes to Windows Live Messenger 2009.
