Go read the news articles and the jaws 9 release on the FS website at www.freedomscientific.com. As far as the jaws 9 cd being an SMA, it is a pay per use upgrade which means you need to have either paid for it, had a license SMA count available for it (SMA's come with 2 licenses) or have just bought a new SMA. You can check to see how many licenses you have left by looking at the jaws 9 about box (it requires the jaws cusor to find it though), or you can go to www.fsactivate.com, put in your serial number and get the count from there. As far as IE7 (I think thats what your meaning by IE), it works pretty good. xp pro shouldn't be that much of a problem either. IE7 has been out for quite a while now, soFS has had a good while to make changes to jaws to help us all out. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Claudia Sent: Saturday, December 01, 2007 4:11 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: blindtech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Jaws 9? , I just received my copy of Jaws 9, and it says SMA on it. Is this a full version of the software, and if so, what kinds of things do I have to look forward to, in terms of improvements? And, how will this Jaws work with I.E.? My work computer just updated to this version of IE, so I'm assuming that my home computers will soon ask, if I want to update them as well. I'm using Windows XP Pro on all computers at home.
