if you turn off narrator before starting the install of jaws on a new pc and something happens to the install, you have no way of knowing and you may not be able to restart narrator. Certainly, turn off narrator by going to its window and pressing alt+f4 and answering yes to the question, is a good idea once the install is going and you are fairly certain it's going to finish, but there is no harm in leaving it on.

What I would do is make sure that your antivirus software is shut down or disabled before you insert your JAWS cd. that way you can authorize without any further difficulties. This instalation is designed to be **very** user friendly and you should have absolutely no problems installing JAWS whatsoever.
