Hi List
Have just setup a new computer for a friend. It's a windows 7 home premium 64
bit system, with 4 gig of RAM.
have installed jaws 13 and Zoomtext 10 and they are both up to date. Both set
to start when the computer starts. The zoomtext splash screen comes up, during
which time Jaws kicks in. Then a message comes up to say that zoomtext has
detected jaws and needs to load first. Then it closes. So I have to unload
jaws. Start zoomtext, then start jaws again. I have never had this happen
before and am just wondering if it's a strange quirk of the 64 bit OS.?
I've disabled jaws starting when the computer starts so just zoomtext starts
now then I manually run jaws which works fine. It's no real big deal having to
start Jaws manually, but I would be interested to know if anyone has had this
problem and found a way to tweak the start-up timings so that jaws will load
itself after zoomtext.
On my own 32 bit system the zoomtext splash screen comes up and then goes away.
Then jaws kicks in and all is well, which is why I'm wondering if it's
something to do with being a 64 bit OS. It's interesting that you need to
install a 64 bit version of jaws, but zoomtext has only one version to
download.
The other thing that bugs me a little is that Zoomtext 9 used to load quite
quickly. However Zoomtext 10 seems to take twice as long. Nothing you can do
about that, but it would be nice not to have a splash screen coming up. Guess
that would require a registry tweak?
Cheers
Darren.
