Hi Vince

Yes, the JAWS download has different links on the FS page.

For anyone following this with confusion, remember that downloading the
various versions for 32 or 64 bit is not the same thing as using JAWS
Standard and JAWS Pro.  That is the same download and is determined by what
you have on your system, that is, Windows 7 Home Premium or Starter for
Standard, against Windows 7 Professional or Business, (whatever they call
it), which requires JAWS Pro.

I hope that makes sense.


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

Jackie, do you still need a specific 64-bit version of JAWS? I'm spoiled by
NVDA, which doesn't.
