Hi Linda, I had to get a 64 bit disk from Freedom Scientific before Openbook8 would work on my Win7 64 bit computer. Is your computer 64 or 32 bit? If your computer is 64 bit, maybe something happened along the line where the 64 bit disk wasn't necessary any more for Openbook8 to run on a Win7 64 bit system. All I know, which isn't much, was having to wait for that disk before I could run OB8 on my computer. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.

I have 8 on my Windows 7 laptop but didn't need a special disk to get it to work. Linda To err is human but to really mess things up, one needs a computer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike B." <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2015 8:17 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and OpenBook version 7 > Hi David, > > To my knowledge Openbook 7 will not work with Windows7.
