Samson,
Find the exe file for the program:
1. ctrl esc
2. tab once
3. press "c" for computer
4. find your hard disk and press enter
5. press "P" until you get to either Program
files or Program files x86, where ever your program is located.
6. Find your program folder and press enter. You
may have to enter in a couple folders depending
on where your executable file resides.
7. Once you find the exe file of your program
either right click on it or use the apps key
8. Arrow up to Properties and press enter
9. Shift Tab twice to the tab bar, you'll land on "General"
10. Right arrow to Compatibility tab and tab
until you see a check box to run in compatibility mode
11. Check the box and tab to a combo box of which
to choose which OS you'd like to run it under and press enter.
Windows has the ability to run programs under
older OS's simulated in the current OS. This can
sometimes help issues. Sometimes not, but sometimes yes.
Hope that helps.

Hi Brad, how do you run programs in the
compatibility mode? I am new to Win 7 and
will appreciate much the information.
Thank you
Samson

and old programs for audio-recording
I'd try installing them and if need be, run them
in compatibility mode. I've had a program swore
by the manufacturer that it wouldn't run in Win 7
64 bit, it runs smoothly, no issues. FYI, I am
running the latest version of Sound Forge Audio
Studio, non-professional version, and it is
plenty accessible with Jaws, no scripts.

Hi everyone,
On my earlier Windows XP-computer, I had two
programs installed for audio-recording:
1. Total Recorder version 7.1.
2. Sound Forge 8.0D.
Can I install the old programs on my Windows 7
64-bit, or do you will recommend that I upgrade to the latest versions?
I asking since I not am sure about the
accessibility for JAWS-users in the new versions.
Thanks for the answers.
Regards,
Anders
