Hi,

JFW is the only screen reader whereby you pay more for the use under XP pro.  
Dolphin work it on two versions of the product, but they all work under all 
operating systems (incl. NT).  The standard version has less features relating 
to editing of map files etc, whereas the pro version has all these in.

Andrew.

I thank Tristram, George and Andrew for responses to my question. 
I do not have JAWS as a demo, or any other version on my 
computer, although I guess I could have found out what I was 
asking via FS website.  I'm only glad I don't face the price 
premium for the 'Pro' edition, or face downgrading to XP home. 
Wonder how Dolphin users are served in this question?  I'll ask 
on the Dolphin list.

Many thanks.
Ray

Also Win XP Home will run with multiple accounts quite happily. 
There is no
reason for a domestic user to require XP Pro in about 95 percent 
of cases.
A Jaws standard won't authorise under XP Pro.

I think you will find that when running JAWS standard on an
XP Pro machine, it will also only run in demo mode, and
therefore time out after about 40 minutes.

Hi again list.  A friend has the home edition of JAWS
running on his computer which has XP Pro installed.  It
seems to work, but he gets a preamble when JAWS loads
telling him of the things he cannot do using the JAWS home
version under XP Pro.

Can anyone here say what these things he cannot do are
please?  I would have thought that the Home edition would
not allow use under multiple accounts, but what other
limitations would there be?
