I'm afraid you will have to upgrade your SMA to JAWS 15 because JAWS 9, as
you were informed by FS, will not work with Windows 7. Unfortunately,
updating from JAWS 9 to 15 could be an expensive proposition.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 9 and Windows 7
Does anyone run Jaws version 9.0 with Windows 7? I forwarded the following
questions to Freedom Scientific and they told me Version 9 and Windows 7
are not compatible. If anyone can help, I would be grateful. Here are the
questions:
Every time I start up my Windows 7 Ultimate Dell Latitude PC, Jaws says
that the Freedom Scientific Mirror Display Driver is not properly
instaled. I have tried rebooting and repairing the instalation using the
Jaws 9.0 program CD, but nothing has helped. I even changed the theme to
Windows 7 basic theme. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix the
problem?
Other problems
In Windows 7, when I press insert f11 to look at the system tray, Jaws
says that it could not find the list of task tray icons.
In certain programs, I cannot see certain parts of the screen, evenn with
the Jaws cursor. For example the Instantbird messaging program will not
update me as to the connection status, whether connecting, not connected,
username sent, password sent, or the amount of time connected, while with
Windows XP all this information is spoken directly with no problems. Also
in the conversation window, I cannot review what I have written. I can,
however, read it once it is sent.
There is just something about Jaws on Windows 7 that is far inferior to XP
and I wish it would stop.
