The only reason Jaws over took Window eyes is because it was pushes by all the rehabs across the country, and a lot of people were either not offered WE and an option or were refused it. Too much politics involved there with FS and the NFB

I set it up the way I wanted it, making it work as best as I could. I didn't use it all the time. I used it when I needed it to do something window eyes couldn't. I hadn't used it for a few months. I brought it up, and it came up in its original mode it was installed with. I tried to set it up again, and it wouldn't let me do it. So, I never used it again.

I’m angry about it too. Jaws just doesn’t work nearly as seamlessly as WE did. And, FS sucks.

As I said before in a post of over a week or so ago, I was planning to purchase the annual license the very day the free version of JAWS was announced, or it would be more accurate to say, the day I was made aware of it, so don't plan to use WE forever. But, what a great screen reader to lose, especially to such a company as Freedom Scientific. I'm still very angry about that. Enough said.
