Judith,
I think you may have misunderstood your tech person, and gotten it a little
backward. For instance, if you are running the computer under Windows XP
Home, either version of Jaws will work with it. For instance, I happen to
have Jaws Pro , even though my operating system is only XP Home Edition.
But, as I hope is clear, I could also be using just Jaws regular with this
computer which is running under XP Home. It's okay one way or the other.
However, and this is what confuses me about your story, it's my
understanding that if you use XP Pro, Windows Media Center, or a couple of
other versions of Windows, you absolutely need Jaws Pro for Jaws to work.
And you seem to have been saying that you are using only the regular edition
of Jaws.
So maybe you could find out if you really have Jaws regular or Jaws Pro. It
might clarify something.
In the midst of all this, of course I hope your troubles will be solved.
But your story about using Jaws regular with Win XP Pro sounds odd.

Richard, According to the teck I bought this from jaws needs xp pro to
function properly. Jaws itself is working fine on my computer, its just all
the other idiosyncracies that are wacky. Judith
