Trouble is, Andy, I don't know in Vista.

You could run MSCONFIG in XP and go to the Services tab. Hope you can find something similar, or at least be pointed in the right direction soon.

Andy,

Remember what I said about Services.  Sometimes there's more than one
service to turn off before everything can be uninstalled.

I remember that much from a while back now but, not using Vista and
being uncertain about which services Norton actually uses to run, I
can't advise you further.

Cheers and all the best.

Hi Carol.

I agree.  I've given it some thought, but to be honest, I hate
Norton and like an old lover, I don't wish anything more to do with
him/her. When I launch my VISTA computer it's there.  I'm thinking
if I do an Alt F4 whis will turn it off then uninstall it.  I can
then go for Nod 32.  However, it's memory will still be there, just
to remind me, just how much a bully \Norton really was!  This is a
task however where I'll need sighted assistance, but I'm pretty
sure now that Norton is going to be killed.
Best wishes.

Andy.

If you decided to get rid of Norton, you probably will need to stop
it running in Services (or whatever Vista calls it), then you can
probably uninstall ...  Messy but once it's out, it's out!  I'd
still do it! <Grins>

Hi Jackie.

I'm messing about with my new computer and like it a lot.  Pauline
is also very impressed.  It's so quiet and my 20 inch display is
lovely. I don't thin I'll change to Classic View just yet as it
really looks like something new and interesting.

I was offered Norton at PC World yesterday and I declined it
saying that I use NOD 32.  My NOD 32 runs out in a week or so and
I was intending to purchase it for another year.  However, to my
horror, I discovered this evening that Norton is already
installed.  Not sure now whither to just stick with it as it's
terribly difficult to get rid of it from a system.  I think you
need a special tool.

I've not yet installed my Soundblaster so hopefully, later this
week, I'll be blasting out my music.

I'm thus far , so pleased that I opted for VISTA.

Best wishes.

Andy.

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!! (smile.)

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.
