Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner, Mark.
The easiest way to do that might be to load the contents of one of your older Jaws program disks right into the machine. It will run quite well without any additional product keys in 40 minute mode. I'd suggest an older version since they take up less space.

Hi John,
Well, if I could load JAWS temporarily on to the computer. I could plug in my large USB hard drive and simply copy and paste the entire contents of the computers small hard drive on to my portable hard drive. Then I could copy the contents from the portable USB drive to a DVD rom and give that to my sister who owns the computer. She now has a new laptop computer and really would prefer to import her data to it. Then to revive the older desktop computer.

God bless,
Mark

Mark, I'm not sure I understand your point. Of course, you can easily load any version of Jaws for a 40 minute trial mode. How does this issue reflect retrieving data from a Windows 98 machine?

Hi
    I wish there was a way to install a forty minute JAWS demo.

God bless,

The problem would be that to access it's data externally, via something like a network cable etc. you'd need to allow this to happen by sharing paths etc., so to be honest, simplest would be to take the hard drive out and mount it in either another machine, or an external hard drive housing etc., or you could maybe have the video card replaced with something simple/cheap, etc.

Pity, in this case that there's no built in narrator for windows 98.

Stay well

Hi
My sister's windows 1998 computer has a bad video card. She would like to have the data from her hard drive. It seems to me that there should be some way to retrieve the data but I don't know how. I would appreciate any insights people may have on this subject.
    Thank you in advance.

God bless,
Mark
