Your going to notice a change in updating java. now it has a mcaffee scan install. So your going to have to tab to the check box and un check it. That box will just say checked, but that page will tell you it is installing it. Once you un check it the install will go as normal.

[JAWS-Users] JAWS 11 and Win 7
Hi all: Just had a quick question. I'm thinking of getting a new PC-based laptop running on Win 7. I currently have Windows XP Pro SP3 running with JAWS professional, but they only have Windows 7 Ultimate in store preinstalled. Would JAWS 11 pro work on Ultimate, or would I have to pay to buy pro? If so, what's the price for a n upgrade usually around?

Re: [JAWS-Users] windows 7 volume control
Hello Rick Thanks for the instructions. Just one observation: jaws is supposed to be installed without sighted assistance but the last few times I needed sighted assistance because at the beginning of the install the install program says that it wants to make changes to my system. this does not talk, so there is no way to get to the stage where jaws is speaking without sighted assistance.

[JAWS-Users] best player to use with jaws to play DVDs.
I am running windows 7, jaws 12 on a 64 bit machine, and have windows media player 12 set to play DVDs. Trouble is, I am not having very good luck with it. When I put the DVD in the computer, windows media player comes up, and when I tab around, I see that the play button has been pressed. However, there is no sound or picture. My sighted wife comes along and presses play, and it works. What am I doing wrong, and is there a better player to play DVDs, more accessible to jaws 12?

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 11 and Win 7
JAWS 64-bit is required to run on a 64-bit operating system. So, no if the CD only contains JAWS for 32-bit OS'es it won't work. But you don't need to buy JAWS 64-bit. Your JAWS license can be used with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of JAWS.

Re: [JAWS-Users] restoring desktop itums lost!
Most likely just the desktop icons are lost. the actual files, unless specifically downloaded to the desktop, live somewhere else. 1. Go to program files and look for them 2. Move the cursor to one that you have found 3. Press the context menu key. 4. arrow down to the send-to submenu 5. right arrow to open the menu, and choose 'desktop, create short cut.' 6. ress enter. 7. Go to the desktop and look for the item. It will either use the program name--Microsoft Word--or something like 'shortcut to Microsoft Word. 8. If you want to change the name, press f2, make the change, and press enter.

This sounds odd. I've had this happen when you take out 1 DVD and put another one in, but not from the get go.
