Hi,
JAWS got vista support in version 8.0. But it has improved since then.

Hi Sarah,
That is something I do not know. I believe your best bet is to contact
Freedom Scientific and ask them. It seems to me that I didn't have to change
any thing in my JAWS when switching from XP to VISTA. So, there is some
hope. Smile.
God bless,

Well, I can't afford a current sma. So, will the version I have work fine?

Hi
In order for JAWS to do the upgrades you will probably need a current
SMA agreement with Freedom Scientific. Personally I have been blessed with
very few of the issues that people complain about with vista. That being
said I have heard my share of vista bashing and don't understand what they
are talking about.
God bless,

Thanks, everybody for your help.
So why do I hear all this bad stuff then if Vista is fine. I have heard
stories that vista crashes all the time, and that you are always getting
errors and that Vista was like the worst opperating system and they never
should have switched from xp. I am just really nervous because if it isn't
working properly when I buy the new computer then I am not able to do
anythign about it and am stuck with what I have.
How come my friend has so many problems with his laptop? If you are pretty
computer tech as far as how to run things, then will vista be easy to
figure
out?
If I do a check for updates under jaws, how will it give me the latest
build
if I don't have any sma's or like upgrades things.
Thanks,
Sarah

Hi
I am running vista home addition on my HP laptop and JAWS 10. I love
vista. It took a little adjusting to figure out how to find what I want
compared to XP but over all I am pleased with the operating system.
God bless,

Hi,
I have a question. My laptop recently broke, and I am trying to get a new
one. I have relized that most stuf is going towards windows vista, but I
have heard horror stories about jaws and windows vista. I have also heard
some bad stuff from a few sighted people about windows vista. However, to
get a laptop with xp on it as people have been sugesting to me costs like
$200 more then just purchasing a laptop with windows vista.
I know one person who has vista, and has had nothing but problems and
claims tha he can't even use his laptop because Vista is so bad. I have
jaws 10.0.512U and am not sure if that even works with vista. When I got
my jaws I didn't get an extra vista c.d. with it that they talk about in
the fs cast so I don't even know if I am upgraded to use vista.
I am very familear with xp, and am not just one of those go and check my
email people. I am on the computer all the time and am constantly doing
stuff such as browsing the web, syncing to my phone, putting stuff on my
ipod, etc.
Does anybody know anything about Windows Vista, and do you know if it is
still better to get xp? My mom said that it has to work because fs says
it
does on there website, and she said that noone uses xp anymore and that
it
is outdated and that xp is old and that's why it costs more if you want
xp
on your computer instead of vista.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Sarah
