Hi Andy
Just to say well done, and hope all goes well. When I got my laptop last
summer, I don't recall having to do anything exciting to get JAWS to work.
When version 9.0 came out, I upgraded from version 8, and it's been fine.
You will find some security differences in Vista from XP, but JAWS does
speak with everything I've come across, so just go for it and enjoy!!

Better than an Easter egg eh?

Subject: [access-uk] VISTA ready to go
Hi all.
Took the big plunge today and purchased a HP VISTA desk-top PC. It's
sitting in the kitchen in a couple of big boxes and I'm planning to put it
together tomorrow with sighted assistance from my wife Pauline.
I have a copy of JAWS Pro 8 to install, though I am hoping to upgrade
this week to JAWS Pro 9, which will probably arrive within ten days.
So I've not done a thing to it thus far. I'm looking for some advice.
For example, is there anything that I should do to the settings prior to
installing JAWS. For example, I have since Windows 95 used the High
Contrast Number 2 display colour option as this is less harsh on my eyes.
Should I wait until JAWS has been installed before attempting to change
this?
I have a document titled something like Setting up XP to work with JAWS.
I have used the recommendations in this document for several years, to
change settings to maximise JAWS. I was wondering if there was perhaps a
similar document which would tell me how to enable JAWS to work at it's
best in VISTA?
So there is a couple of questions off the top of my head and perhaps there
is a more crucial modification that I need to make but don't yet know of
it. Perhaps JAWS will work with VISTA out of the box, so to speak, but
given past experience, I doubt it very much.
Looking forward to lots of advice.
Best wishes.
Andy.
