Jane, Sorry I have had a look for my magazine with the price for windows XP home in but I can't find it. From memory I think its around two hundred pounds. You will need to make sure your PC has the minimum specification and probably above that if you want to run jaws. If this is still too expensive you might want to consider getting a Mac mini and keyboard for about 350 pounds and this will come with voice over the new screen reader from apple built into the operating system. But it is still very new and would require time for you to learn. I don't know how much useful vision you have for looking at a screen but you can use your existing monitor with a Mac mini. Take care, Nigel ----- Original Message ----- From: Jane Sellers To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, May 13, 2005 10:18 AM Subject: [jaws-uk] Help needed with update of AVG database please Hi there, As it says in the subject line, I am having trouble in updating AVG and wondered how I go about updating the database, I have downloaded the latest AVG update but if anyone can tell me how to update the database that would be very helpful, Can anyone tell me how much Windows XP would cost on its own, can't afford new pc so staying with the old one for now, want to know what it would cost to upgrade to Windows XP and also my SMA with Sight and Sound is out of date, do I have to update it or now that there is the licence on the new Jaws is the at sufficient?
