Hello to all,
Not that I consider myself a computer god at the level of some who
contribute to this forum but...
I would doubt that XP with Jaws 14 would be advanced enough to work with
the most recent upgrades and versions of Skype and here are my thoughts why
not:
First an foremost even jaws starting with version 16 stopped supporting XP,
which means nothing more will be developed or fixed at Freedom Scientific's
end regarding XP for any version of Jaws.
Secondly I'm finding more and more web sites just aren't willing to support
older versions of Internet Explorer and the latest greatest version that
XP had just isn't cutting it any more for cutting edge websites.
Therefore, it is my opinion that Skype is one of those web services that
just isn't willing to stay retro to help out a few thousand blind people
when they are competing in a web space for their share of subscribers
against other companies that are trying to market to tens of millions of
users who don't come to them with our baggage.
I feel for our community because of the way we rely upon more tech to do
simple things than the sighted consumer does, and each level of tech we
need adds another layer of complexity to the simplicity of the basic tasks
we are trying to independently perform.
That's one of the reasons I'm so grateful to Doug lee for the scripts he
has written for us to get Skype to work for most of us.
Since we weren't given any info on the person's equipment running XP I
don't know if this suggestion could help but if they have enough resources
with their current machine to maybe upgrade to at least Windows 7 it might
buy them a little more time before having to put out a lot of cash up
grading their machine or their level of Jaws.
I hope this has been helpful.
Mike, Florence SC
