Carl, I got this version of Jaws from the commission for the blind and they
don't buy pro editions of anything. Also, on this new computer jaws works
better than it did on my win 98 machine Except for my disappearing documents
and emails. I sent one of the posts from this list over to my teck but, as
could have been predicted, he hasn't answered yet. Thanks, Judith

Hello Judith,
I am glad your system is working but I am curious how you know your JAWS is
standard. I can't imagine how it would work on an XP pro system if it is.
One way to be sure is to go to www.fsactivate.com, press the continue button
and select the link to verify the number of keys available. Enter your
serial number, hit submit and the resulting table will tell you for sure.
Inquiring minds want to know.
Karl

Well, I don't know who is right or wrong but except for the mystery of my
disappearing documents or emails jaws regular is running fine on my xp pro
machine. I forwarded a post from this list to my teck to see if he would
adjust my settings so that I could hang on to my documents. I'm not
debating right or wrong on this, I can't afford to upgrade to jaws pro.
So, for now let him make his adjustments so I can keep my documents. Judith

I stand corrected. You and Cy are correct. Judith Bron, in an earlier post, thought she was running XP Pro and Jaws Standard. This indicates that she must be mistaken about on or the other.

That is absolutely correct, unless FS has changed the game in the last two weeks.

Cy and Alex,
I agree with both of you to a point. I believe that all the Jaws editions start with the $1295 edition and that the authorization key determines which functions are disabled, otherwise they are identical. I don't see any way to determine whether it's Standard or Pro except that: if under About Jaws it says "Remote access enabled", that means that it is the $1295 edition, They are all the same version number. I don't doubt that there are differences that are necessary for compatibility with the various XP editions, but nothing that the average would notice.
In my conversation with FS today they said that the Standard edition is being phased out. I think that they inferred that there will be only edition. I assume that this might be the end of the $895 price. What the new price will be is anyone's guess.
Judith's problem still remains. If what FS says is true (and I think it probably is), and if she is running XP Pro with Jaws Standard she will have to upgrade to Jaws Pro. She should, of course, get some authoritative advice before spending a minimum of $200 plus tax.
