Have you set up a separate hot key for each of the versions of JAWS? If you haven't, then I would do that. Once done, then I would reboot the computer. Then unload JAWS 6 if that is the one that is running after the reboot. Once 6 is unloaded, then use the hot key combination to start JAWS 8.
Hope this works. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/25/2007 8:11 PM >>> I hope my subject line is O.K. since I posted a question a couple of days ago and got no response, I am altering the subject line a bit. I have XP and 6.0. I am trying to upgrade to 8.0. I put the new disc and followed the directions. I also loaded the real speak disc that came with it. After the install, I have both the original 6.0 and new 8.0 on my desk top. During the install, I used the "typical" install as recommended not the custom. I was never asked for an authorization number or given a choice to merge settings. My goal was to merge my original settings with the new version. I can not get the 8.0 to work however. Even when I click on the desk top version that says 8.0 and I go to check it, JAWS says that I am on version 6.0. In my add/remove programs the 8.0 items are listed as Freedom Scientific. I am afraid of un-installing the 6.0. Should I try to install the 8.0 again? If so, how do I merge settings to keep my 6.0 settings/short cuts etc.? Why did the 8.0 not show up, even though the install seemed to work? Thank you for any help.
