you have done well. I have at last got a hardrive replacement that was not faulty for my windows 7 and got nvda on but not jaws,still much to do. but you ask about using jaws not connected to internet. I used jaws for a good while before thinking about isp's and got used to artificial speech,after having to give up my much loved portable typewriter.and my ocr which i must not name to be able to scan even carbon copies wow that was a thrill. however at that time in London I was able to buy a short corse from a certain organisation,not rnib and was really out of their area but Ipaid fora tutor to visit got 5 visits,, one day he said"would you like to send an email? I agreed of course,so he sets up a dial up connection with a company called tiscali we try it out my very first email ever, we get this .a welcome from the postmaster of tiscali and a thousand cookies and bang! some thing called Blaster,. tutor is apalled he cannot kill it,he must go home and research it,,a week later he returns with something to kill this blaster thing I ask him why could you not protect my computer it has f secure on it? he said no we had to make the phone call to the isp to get any connection,it is all Microsoft's fault it is a hole inwindows, to this day I am still not sure if he could've protected my machine, I think he called it both welcher and blaster, well it took any fun away from my first email but I remember it well I wonder if any of you do?

This is just a notify email to let you all know that I have finally gotten Jaws 12 not the demo, the full version! That's to say a registered/autarised/licence copy at last and I am finally glad to enjoy the benefits of Jaws with out having to re-start it every 40 mins. God that drove me crazy! LOL I have a question though. That I hope someone can answer. Basicly I have installed it on my desktop computer and I was wondering is it possable to get it installed onto my Laptop at all? I have installed it onto my laptop but the problem is I don't know how to autorise it so it knows that it is a full licence on the laptop. Is this possable to do with my version of Jaws? Note that my laptop doesn't have internet access so I was wondering is there another way that I can achieve this? Many Thanks and look forward to hearing your answers and congrassulations! Daniel
