I'm sorry to ask still another question but...

I am having quite a bit of trouble with this new Dell laptop that has Vista 
Home Premium.
I'm using Jaws home version 9.
Just downloaded the latest version 9 today.

I had called Freedom Scientific's tech support and explained the problem I was 
having with Jaws version 8.
The only advice he had for me was to download the latest version 9 which I did.
Now a different problem has begun.

When typing an email, I arrow up to read a line I just typed and Jaws reads it 
to me.
But when I arrow back down, there should be a blank line there but instead Jaws 
reads the same line again to me.
If I arrow up several times, it reads several lines twice before reading a 
different line.

When it should tell me there's a blank line, it instead reads text that 
shouldn't be there.
And my guess is that text really isn't there.  But for some reason, Jaws is 
reading text.

Any ideas?

One more question, a friend told me that pro version of Jaws is more stable 
with Vista than home version.  Is there any truth to this?

Thanks for all your time and help.

Nancy
