Hello Kuenga, Tim and Doris are exactly right. I don't know why I wasn't thinking clearly when writing you. I guess I have too many projects going on at once or I didn't have enough coffee before writing. You can't run 64-bit Windows on a 32-bit processor. As far as software is concerned, there are some 32-bit programs that can run in a 64-bit Windows environment using WOW64. You might check the laptop to find out if the operating system is one used prior to XP, such as Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 95, etc. I think that the last version of JAWS to support versions of Windows before Windows XP was JAWS 7.1.
Take care.

Hi all, Yestterday, a friend of mine had brought a laptop of Sony VAIO asking for installation of JAWS. While trying to install, JAWS announced: "The Programme cannot be installed in this platform, contact freedomscientific." The JAWS software was of 32 bit and I check the laptop and was also of 32 Bit. What could be the reason for not being able to install?
