Hi Joanne, You should be able to network XPHome, and XPPro, I have Win98SE, and XPHome networked here and no problems. XPPro not only costs more, but what additional features it has are more suited for the business, or work environment. So, you end up paying $150, to $200 extra for the Jaws pro, just for the ability to access features that most home users never use.

My children have a computer and we realized too late why we couldn't connect to one another's computers--because they have XP pro and I don't. So here's what I'm wondering: If I were to get a computer with XP pro in it, are there major changes and a lot of new stuff I'd have to learn in order to use Jaws pro with XP pro? In other words if I got jaws pro can the windows XP pro menus be set up the exact same way as windows '98 and XP home--with classic start and all the other recommended settings? What is the difference in pro and standard--besides the price? I would appreciate any feedback. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
