Hi Bill, I too did the upgrade and I'm using windows xp. I did to get as far as trying with IE7 because what started happening is that the "say all" command went weird. It started telling something like "unknown function is magic running?" I don't even have a copy of magic in the same house, let alone installed on the computer. When I tried running a repair, I was told that some file was missing and so it could not be repaired. I had to end up uninstalling the whole thing and reinstalling the original jfw8 to get things back to normal. S not just 2000 pro is having challenges, but others too. I suggest people avoid this one for now until FS has heard all the problems.

Hi, I tried to use the latest version of JAWS (8.0.1163) and found it screwed up in Internet Explorer 6 even worse than earlier versions of JAWS 8. I am one of the rare birds using Windows 2000 Professional so I'm not able to install IE 7 so am forced to remain with IE 6. Now when I open IE JAWS 8 (8.0.1163) tells me that all links have the same label as the first one it happens to land on when IE is opened. Even worse, if I shut down JAWS 8 and bring it back up again it doesn't say anything at all as I tab around a web page. If I resort to the JAWS Cursor I can tell that I'm positioned on links of differing labels. My point here is to advise those of you using Windows 2000 Professional that once again attempting to use JAWS 8 may not be an efficient use of your time -- not at this point any way! And folks, this is my own personal web page that is designed to be as JAWS-friendly as possible. ---------------- Bill Gallik E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "I can believe anything, provided that it is quite incredible." - Oscar Wilde --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list%40googlegroups.com/ In order to contact the management team simply fill out the following form found at: http://www.jaws-users.com/contact.php You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JAWS Users List" group.
