MP3 files are not programs and as such are not effected by the bit number of your operating system. The same goes for your address book. JAWS knows if you are installing it from the DVD you received which version to install automatically.
If you're installing from a file you downloaded then you need to be aware of which version it is but the fact is if you try to install the wrong version it simply will not work. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pedro Romero Sent: Monday, March 28, 2011 12:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] 32 bit setting in win 7? Hi Karen. According to Rich's response, my understanding is that this can be done. However, I have pasted his response below just to be on the safe side. Jaws works with 64 bit but you must install the 64-bit version. All MP3's will work in 64 bit. Most programs that you run in current 32 bit will also work in 64 bit. There may be a few that you will need to operate in 32-bit mode under Windows 7, but I have found that not to be a significant problem. Your address book is another issue, that depends on what Email program you use. 64 bit is the wave of the future and we are all pretty much forced to go along with it or be left behind. You would not want to buy a new computer at this point that was anything less than Windows 7, 64 bit. The specs of the one you are considering look fine to me, but perhaps more knowledgeable people can give their opinions..
