It works well. I can boot to whatever operating system my client is
used to, any version of Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8.1) or Fedora Linux.
This is an older way of doing things. Nowadays, many people might set
up a virtual machine using VMWare to do the same thing, but the way I've
got it set up works better for my situation in the eye clinic.

Hi, David. I'm sorry tyou are having this problem. What I have found
is that
most of the uninstallers, including the one in Windows7, leaves files and
folders after uninstalling programs.
What you might want to do is, first, set your computer to show hidden
files
and folders in the folder options section.
Then, after uninstalling all your Freedom Scientific products, go into
your
user files, and check Appdata to see if there are any Freedom Scientific
files or folders in there. If so, delete them and try again to install.
One time, after uninstalling firefox, I found settings files in Appdata
which were preventing me from doing a clean reinstall of the new program,
which had become corrupted.

Unfortunately, that's what I did. I then uninstalled all Freedom
Scientific products and removed the folder in Program Files, then
cleared out the FreedomScientific tree in the registry so that there
would (supposedly) be no trace of the products, then tried
reinstalling. I suspect there may be additional registry keys that
need to be deleted, but they are proving difficult to find.

You also do not want to uninstall the shared components while other

David,
It's my understanding that you shouldn't install earlier versions of
JAWS when you have JAWS on your system. I think you'd need to
uninstall them all, then reinstall one by one, beginning with the
earliest and going up in sequence.
I have to wonder why anyone would need so many versions. I remember
9 worked on some websites for a time when later versions didn't, but
that ceased to be the case.

Subject: Jaws stops speaking in Windows 7
I have a desktop computer running multiple versions of Windows and have
various versions of Jaws on each.
On the Windows 7 partition, I had full versions and demos of Jaws from
version 9 to 15. I recently decided to do a cleanup and uninstall some
of the earlier versions of Jaws.
Now, when I try to start any version of Jaws such as the Jaws 15 demo,
Jaws will start up, speak "Jaws for Windows is ready", then quit. The
activation dialog no longer appears, so I think that somehow the
activation system has gotten munged. I've tried reinstalling all the
previous versions of Jaws that I can get my hands on, and the same
problem occurs. (Jaws on XP, Vista and 8.1 update 1 on the same
machine
start up as expected.)
Has anyone experienced this problem before and can offer a solution?
Thanks in advance!
David Ogilvie
