Austin,

I have no recollection of having to work around anything. All I wrote
down at the time I did the install was:
Quote:
JAWS 12.0.1170-32bit.exe wouldn't install - Windows said it wasn't a
proper 32-bit application!
JAWS 13.0.527-32bit.exe took a long time to download FSOmniPage but it
went on fine. 
End of quote.
These were just the standard files downloaded from the public area of
the FS website, and the fact that I didn't note anything about
compatibility mode means I don't think I needed it.

Since then I've installed all the hotfixes FS have released over the top
of this install, and I don't recall any issues with any of them.

Sorry I can't be more help,
Steve
