I work for the Arkansas department of information systems. I use JAWS to
accesss the IBM OS3090 mainframe. The emulator we use is attachmate
extra 8.0. I continue to have the following problems with my PC.  I
currently am using a PC that has version 6.0 of Jaws.  I also hav an
older version of the Microsoft products while the rest of my coworkers
have been upgraded on these products.  I have been having a problem with
my machine locking up....I  have times when I cannot access the computer
drives and times when Ihave problems accessing the mainframe. 

 

Our It specialist has another PC that she has loaded with version 9.0 of
Jaws.  I have done some work with this PC and it has problems accessing
the Mainframe.  

 

So I have a problem in that my current machine has problems and I can't
go to any upgraded PC because it has problems too.....This is impacting
my ability to do my job. 

 

I am trying to find out If there are other mainframe programmers who can
suggest solutions. Thanks!
