Hi all,
I've been running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit since December with Jaws 11 Pro and
am very pleased with it. It runs all the older 32 bit apps flawlessly so
far.
If you activate the search box and type System Info in Win 7 you can find
out the following sort of detail about your particular system and then some.
OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Professional
System Type x64-based PC
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz, 2668 Mhz, 4
Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 9.00 GB
Total Physical Memory 8.99 GB
Available Physical Memory 6.23 GB
Total Virtual Memory 18.0 GB
Available Virtual Memory 15.1 GB
Cordially,
Richard P. Kelly

Hi.
Indeed I used 64 bit for a few months. Yes, I had major problems with JAWS
and in fact other screen readers. Whenever I used Windows Explorer at some
random point it would stop responding and it had to close. It caused my
screen reader to lock up and all that. As it was Windows Explorer I thought
the problem was so serious that this is the reason I went back to 32 bit. I
do not know if later versions of screen readers has this fixed. So sorry
about that.
Hope you have better luck with a 64 bit OS than me.
