Susan, For me, I will say this. Jaws 12 and windows 7 play well together. As far as settings to change in windows 7, to make jaws work with it, you need do nothing. Jaws 12 is different than jaws 8 was. Jaws will make the setting changes, without you doing anything. d as for IE 8 or 9, I'm guessing that your computer has IE 8 on it, and that's fine. I'd stay with that for awhile, although several of the group are running IE9 now. My thought is to stay with IE8 till all the bugs are out of 9. As for email client, more than likely, your computer has windows live mail on it. I don't like that email client, although, it is free. So, you might be drawn to it because of that. If so, know that it is similar to OE, but not as good. It has from time to time crashed, and sometimes you can't delete or open emails. It doesn't happen too often, but it does indeed happen. I am new to outlook, and have outlook 2007 on my computer, and I do like it a lot. I will admit to not using all of its features, but it only took me a few days to get it set up the way I wanted. If you have it, and it might be that your computer came with a trial version of it, give it a try. I am a convert, and have to say I like it a lot. If I can answer any more questions fire away. My email, should you care to write off list is:[email protected]. Jim

I have a couple of miscellaneous questions regarding migrating to a new machine with Windows 7. Firstly, I am jumping from JAWS 8.0 to 12.0 and assume that I will need to do the authorization prior to a clean install, right? I will not have access to the classic startup or whatever it's called since I am only getting the Home premium version, but are there any configuration changes I should make so that JAWS and Windows will play well together? Also, does the Windows setup include some version of IE or do I have to get this elsewhere, and if so what steps are involved? I also need to decide whether to go with internet Explorer 8 or 9 and office 2007 or 2010 and would like opinions on which email clients people favor, keeping in mind that I'm used to Outlook Express and have had no real chance to work with Windows Mail or Thunderbird and am somewhat leaning away from Outlook. I think those are all the questions for now, but there may be a few others before I'm done, smile. Many thanks for all assistance.
