I, too, would like to hear others opinion on Jaws version 9.

I know that wasn't your exact question but I don't think it's just a matter of getting used to this version.

I loaded version 9 on my Windows XP computer and ended up going back to version 8 because 9 just didn't work well.

Then I loaded version 9 on my Windows Vista computer and had the same problem with it as I did on my XP computer and so have concluded that it's not Windows but instead the fault of Jaws 9.

So I'm using Jaws 8 on both computers now.

And I was using the latest Jaws 9.0.552.

The problem I've had with version 9 is that the cursor doesn't seem to track as well as it does with other versions. Also, Jaws will tell me the page is blank when I know there is text on that page.

Everyone has tried telling me it's a video card issue but if that's the case then why do I not have this problem with Jaws 8.

Good luck with your work with version 9 or whatever you decide.
