Trish:
That's great news. I haven't gone to Openbook 9 as I am about to buy a Mac
and learn how to use it so I have no idea how I will scan and read, etc. I
know talking about a Mac might be a terrible heresy to talk about here but I
am so unhappy with both Microsoft and JAWS that I am about to
Linda jump ship (smile).

Hi Linda,
I use OB 9 with window's 7, and was thrilled to find the setting to scan
in
"edit" mode same as I did in OB 7.

After I got over my mad because Openbook 7 wouldn't work on my 64 bit
Windows 7 Home laptop, I just installed Openbook 8 and it worked. I'm
still
unhappy because Openbook 7.2 worked so much better. But, then, I still
miss
Outlook Express (sigh). I guess I'm just a dinosaur but being totally
blind
and almost 78, I guess being behind as far as technology is concerned,
it's
not so bad (grin).

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

You are right that Windows 7 and higher will not accept Openbook 7 but
needs
Openbook 8. I have 8 on my Windows 7 laptop but didn't need a special
disk
to get it to work.

Hi David,
To my knowledge Openbook 7 will not work with Windows7. From what I
understand Openbook8 is the earliest version you can use & if you are
running a 64 bit system you have to get a special 64 bit Openbook8 64
bit
disk from Freedom Scientific. So, being your're running Windows 8 I
would
think the same is true. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.
Take care.
Mike

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and OpenBook version 7
Hi all! I know that you will be able to help me. I have a new Asus
laptop with Windows 8.1 and using JAWS 16.0.1925, latest update. When
I install OpenBook version 7, it seems to install Okay. When I go to
launch the application, the IBM voice never speaks, and JAWS says
nothing in OpenBook. If I turn on Narator, I here an error message in
OpenBook saying "OpenBook is not responding." If I could get JAWS to
talk in the OpenBook window, I might be able to figure out more what
is going on, but I can't. Why do you think that OpenBook 7 is not
responding if my installation seems to go Okay? Thanks in advance
