Hi, Make it three because I am running XP Pro with SP2 and a host of security products. I am running 6.2 but often switch back to 5.1 because of the stability with some applications.

This makes at least two of us! I have an upgrade available for 6.0, but because of the new ilm scheme, am reluctant to do it.. My version of 5.1 works fine with win xp running service pack 2.

If you are thinking of installing JAWS 5.0 or 5.1 on a Windows XP machine, don't do it! You'll need sighted assistance to fix it like I did. What happened is that Freedom scientific changed the way JAWS hooks to the screen. The only way you should try to install JAWS 5.0/5.1 is if you have at least version 6 of JAWS on your system, and do not remove the shared components. Even then, I wouldn't recommend it. In order to fix it, buy the way, you have to either do a system restore or boot the computer in to safe mode and remove the jhook file. Either way, you have to boot the PC up in to Safe mode because the computer can't display in normal mode. I don't know if this is true on all windows systems, but on my Windows XP Service Pack 2 machine it most certainly was!
