Hi. There are plenty of other options, NVDA which is a free open source screen reader, Supernova, Window-Eyes, System Access and its free companion product SA To Go. Plenty of choice – my suggestion is try a few and see which screen reading product fits your needs, budget and requirements. System Access is certainly the cheapest but as I understand, NVDA is coming along strong though I haven’t personally used it in a long time. All the best, Ibrahim.

I never touch JAWS now, too much trouble with the tech support!!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: r.sears1 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, September 19, 2011 11:25 AM Subject: [access-uk] Windows 7 I make no apologies for cross posting. Hello folks. I upgraded to version 10 of Jaws and have been playing it on my desktop running XP. I have just purchased a laptop with Windows 7 premium and the CD is not compatible. Sight and Sound tell me I have to pay nearly £200 to upgrade to version 12. I think this is a rip-off. I don't need all the things in version 12 but if I want to stay with jaws I have no choice. I will have to get a new screen reader. Freedom Scientific making money all the time I think it is terrible Any response? Cheers Ron.
