Yes but as others have stated, this defeats the purpose of the uac prompt,
which is to check and see which program is trying to access/change system
settings/files and view details etc. I experience issues with it sometimes,
however this morning I was installing windows7 on a system I just built for
a customer, and jaws 11.0.1467 x64 was working fine with every uac prompet!
Strange, because this same version has casued me issues on other systems...
But it's no excuse, these things should work correctly, specially if you're
claiming that there's full windows7 support. But as I stated in my other
message, I've seen this behaviour in vista as well.
D!J!X!

Hello,
As a general rule if you are launching an application (and I emphasize
you)and UAC comes up-characterized by a sound (applies to Windows 7)-you
would hit the key combination Alt+Y for yes...this also applies to when JAWS
is being installed for the first time or if a new version is being
installed; at least from my experiences, the JAWS installer will ask you to
hit enter to reboot the system and continue installation (but not always)
and after logging into your account UAC comes up. Generally, this is not a
problem if you only have one account on the system as the login screen
usually will have your name highlighted if you didn't set a password at
which point you would just hit enter. Otherwise, your name would be
highlighted and you would hit enter and type your password and press
enter.-just hit Alt+y for 'Yes' and the installation should continue.
As far as a process beginning at the login screen and then re-initializing
itself after logging into the account-that has to do with the security
protections of Windows 7. JAWS needs to run in an elevated rights mode in
order for it to access the login screen and then reload itself into the
users account at the privilege level of the user of the system.
HTH,
Steve

Yes, jaws does tend to lock up on UAC. And for one reason or another, it
starts some sort of new process on login, then restarts itself after you log
on.
