Hi Deb, No, that's not the way it will work. By default Vipre 2014 is set to not download Beta versions but, if 2015 goes out of Beta & becomes the current release your 2014 will update to 2015 unless you run the reg file that tells your computer / Vipre to not update. They're not sure when they will have 2015 as accessible as 2014 so, that's why Vipre with the help of some Blind programmers, for lack of a better term, wrote this registry file! This registry file needs to be run in order for 2014 not to update to 2015 automatically as an update. Then, when Vipre has 2015 accessible you run another registry file, created by Vipre, that tells your computer/ Vipre that it's okay to upgrade to 2015. I have the registry files & have ran the necessary file for not to update on all our computers. I received these registry files from 1 of the Jaws Users that helped Vipre write the registry files. I'm not going to say that 2015 is totally inaccessible because I haven't tried it but, I've heard from several people that have tried navigating Vipre 2015 that say it's not accessible, that's why I'm not going to waste my time. I know I could get around it but, I want a program that works for me, not me working for, it! Anyone that wants these reg files can contact me off list at:
[email protected] If enough people show interest I'll put them on Send Space & send a download link to the list but, these files are small enough that I can email them as a, .Zipp file. HTH Take Care.

Glad to know this, Mike. I use VIPRE2014. As you say, I just set it and let it go. Won't have to worry about updates until May of 2015, so hopefully it will be accessible by then. Why do they call them guidance counselors when all counselors do is offer guidance? Deb and Banff -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike B.

Hi Jo & Lenny, This is the 2014 program. but, when 2015 comes out of Beta you won't be able to stop Vipre 2014 from updating to 2015 unless you run the reg files that Vipre has written to keep this happening for screenreader users knowing that 2015 is not accessible. When 2015 becomes accessible Vipre has written another reg file so you can say yes to the 2015 upgrade prompt. Vipre is working very hard to make 2015 accessible with the help from some very competent blind / screenreader users. It was with the help of these people that Vipre was able to write the reg files. I have the reg files if anyone wants them. Take Care.

Hi, I'm going to download the free versions of the Vipre products mentioned above. If anyone on this list has any experience working with them, I'd appreciate some info as to whether they are compatible with JAWS? I'm running windows 7 64 bit and latest version of JAWS 15. Thanks in advance.
