Hi George.
For some reason, my new Samsung Q330 laptop seems to have been shipped with
a 32-bit version of Windows 7, even though it has 4 gigs of DDR3 memory. I
don't know why this is, Samsung cant give me any answers and there are a lot
of whiners on various forums complaining about it, though I'm not overly
bothered myself. Its puzzling though as my other main use machine which has
a similar memory setup has 64-bit Windows 7 so I think you'll find its more
common than you might surmise.
All the best, Ibrahim.

What you have to be very careful about, Alex, is that you can in fact
put a 32 bit version of Windows on to a 64 bit machine.
Unfortunately I discovered this to my cost with my HP Compaq laptop as
well as a number a Compaq desktops I have here at the moment. So
while they "appear" to be 64 bit, with 32 bit Windows installed, they
cannot have any 64 bit versions of software installed such as JAWS.
It's a less common configuration now, but has caused us grief
sometimes.
George.

I'm afraid I don't quite understand why anyone would want to put a
32-bit version of JAWS on a 64-bit system, after all there is no
difference in functionality.
Cheers
Alex

That is what I inteneded to say anyway. Remember that English is not
my first language so maybe I wasn't as explicit in my explanation as I
wanted to be.
My apologies for any confusion I may have caused.
thanks much.

Not quite.
You can have a 64 bit ready machine, with a 32 bit op system, and run
32 bit applications.
However, if you have a 64 bit operating system, you will need to use
64 bit JAWS.

In other words, the only way you can use a 32bit version of jaws is
to
use a 32bit operating system. You can install a 32bit os on 64bit
hardware but not run the 32bit jaws when you have a 64bit widnows
installed.

Hi all.
If you have the JAWS DVD, it will detect the platform and
automatically
install the appropriate version for you. If not, then you will have
to
download the version of JAWS according to your platform. So in this
case Janet, you will either need to simply insert the DVD or
download
the 64 bit version of JAWS 12. No 32 bit version of JAWS will work
on
a
64 bit operating system.
Take care.

Hi all, would it be OK to put a 32bit version of JAWS on a laptop
running a 64bit version of Windows 7? I'm guessing it would be but
just want to check before I install it. It is JAWS 12.
