`Hi list: installing jaws eight over a copy of jaws 7.10. I installed jaws eight, and the pc rebooted. then jaws didn't speak. I waited for ages, but nothing happened. subsequent reboots produced no result. now I am using my laptop to compose this message of frustrated anger at Freedom scientific. I have had more problems with jaws updates than with any other programme. I do not see how jaws can be installable on one update then broken the next. I am now without my desktop pc. I need to get sighted assistance resolve this problem, and that's not easy to come by. I am just glad I backed everything up onto a removable drive before I installed jaws eight. I am very angry and upset with this programme. I am able to use kerzwiel 1000 on my desktop, and it receives emails fine, so it's not a pc problem. Why is it that jaws for windows causes so many problems when updating? I am furious and angry that we have to pay so much for a programme that breaks down so often in critical situations. I have had data execution errors because of jaws, and no speech at all, and constant hassle with jaws. I don't know what to do with this situation. I will get assistance, maybe Monday, maybe Tuesday, I don't know. before that though, I have the weekend, and I'm thoroughly anoyed with this programme. If anyone else has had this problem, where installing jaws causes the pc not to speak, then please let me know. The problem is, narrator is so dreadful that diagnosing the problem is not possible for someone with no sight. As you can guess, I'm very upset. Hope to hear from you soon. from Martin.
