just an fyi that I found the hard way, if it's possible for you to deactivate hardware temporarily, say turning off a wifi card, this will also trigger jaws to think you've got a different pc. this seems to be a problem mostly for laptop users with vista, as it appears hardware which is turned off under vista actually disappears from the device list because it's driver is unloaded. since I have a wifi card, a bluetooth card, and a hard wired ethernet option, jaws required me to activate *eight* different times to cover all the possibilities of hardware configurations!!! :( since fs will only give you 3 activations at a time, this took weeks to resolve. this is unacceptible to me as who knows where you might be when some hardware change happens to your pc; you may be away from the internet, or out of activations at the fs web site. ------------------------------ Chip Orange Database Administrator Florida Public Service Commission Chip.Orange@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (850) 413-6314 (Any opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Florida Public Service Commission.) ________________________________ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sharon Hooley Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2008 8:49 AM To: Jaws Users Group Subject: General Jaws Question Hi! A computer guy came to my house yesterday and put in a DVD drive in for me, and may have reactivated my printer. Now, when I boot up, Jaws prompts me with "activation". How do I get that to stop?
