But, JAWS 5 will not work with MSN Messenger 7.5 and the latest version of MSN Messenger. JAWS 6.2 works MSN Messenger 6.2 and for the latest version of MSN Messenger, JAWS 7.0 and 7.1 will do it for you. If you wish to upgrade to the MSN Messenger 6.2, visit http://jfwlite.com/programs.html/ please let me know if this it helps.
