Thanks guys, its nice to know that, as a jaws user, there are people out
there who take advantage of individuals who cannot do the extensive research
they need to do in order to not be ripped off. Judith

Tell you what, that tech is about as crazy as they come. JAWS does *not* need XP Pro to function properly. That person either knows not what he/she/it speaks about or he/she/it flat lied to you. Cy, the Ancient Okie...

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

Subject: Jaws editions and Windows XP editions
Someone that was having difficulty with their new computer mentioned that they were running Windows XP Pro and Jaws Standard. Someone else has already mentioned that this may be the cause of the problem. I can't confirm that but I would't be surprised if that was the case.
In the past week I purchased a new laptop that is running Windows Media Center Edition (Windows Home was not an option).
Freedom Scientific, on their website, lists Jaws Standard as being compatible only with XP Home Edition. If this is not true then I believe that their sales department would have advised me that I had the option of not upgrading, rather than upgrading to Jaws Pro at a cost of $368 ($200 upgrade plus $200 for the SMA minus $60 refund for 1 unused version upgrade plus sales tax.
As I understand it, XP Media Center is based on Pro with certain functions disabled and with other functions added.
Can anyone elaborate on this?
