Well...to be fair, it is a beta. I've never installed it but I understand how beta testing works. What you're trying is not really the full product as it will be, and you might have to conduct extra steps, uinstalations etc to get things working stably.

As a matter of fact I even did the installation through the check for updates, not the web. I find it very interesting and disturbing that components needed uninstalling before 2018 installation. lucky1i...@gmail.com "Preach the Gospel, and when necessary use words!" --St. Francis On 10/5/2017 11:55 AM, Maria Campbell wrote: > I also had the overlay window bit in JAWS 18, but had no trouble > installing JAWS 2018.
