Hi Jim, Yeah, I am beginning to see the problem. The version of Jaws you have is incompatible with allot of newer software. It won't work with the Mozilla products like Firefox and Thunderbird which I like over Internet Explorer and Windows Mail, it probably won't support Internet Explorer 7 well, Visual Studio 2003 and later, newer versions of MS office like Office 2007, etc... To use VS 2003/2005 I highly recommend Jaws 8 or Window Eyes 6.1, Windows XP or Vista, and the technology just needs the latest screen readers to get the best possible accessibility. Recommendations aside for a long time I did manage to use VS 2003 with Jaws 7 and Window Eyes 5.0 for quite a while, before upgrading to VS 2005 and screen reader upgrades as well. Besides the screen reader upgrades you'd have to certainly read a few books on VB .Net to get the hang of object oriented programming. For structured programmers who never dealt with oop you'd end up having to unlearn years of old habits, and begin learning to program fresh the way modern standards conventionally hold programs should be written. It wouldn't be cheap and it wouldn't be quick and easy under these circumstances.
