Supposedly jaws 10 supports 64 bit. Have you not found this to be true? I
just heard that as a rumor, and most definitely have not confirmed.
As for why, it has to do with the fact that the whole video chain is 64 bit
on your machine, and so yes other 32-bit applications like CMD or possibly
old apps will work fine, but jaws video drivers will not.
Take care,
Sina

Subject: Off topic. Windows server 2008 64 bit with jaws
Hello all,
Is there any way that any of you know of that I can run Jaws 9 or 10 on a
Windows 2008 64 bit server? I know it's not supported and it certainly
makes that clear on the FS website and during the installation of Jaws
however it is possible to get a 32 bit command prompt up and it's possible
to get other 32 bit applications running quite happily on a 64 bit
environment so why not jaws?
Is there any other screen reader that will give me this access?
I'm sorry for the off topic question. Perhaps someone could direct me to a
mailing list that would specifically focus on screen reader users who need
to use server environments?
I've certainly a lot of questions in this area. example:
1. when using a rack of servers with only 1 console, how do most people
determine what Server the terminal is currently focused on. All ell
poweredge servers do not come with sound cards.
2. Has anyone been able to use the Windows Server Update Service web
administration interface? What about the MMC snap in? Has anyone had any
luck with that?
3. Has anyone been able to configure Office scan via it's web interface?
Itseems to be full of clicable objects that do nothing when I press enter on
them. Pluss, it's method of displaying computers is a java applet so I cant
access it.
4. Has anyone found a way of accessing the front panel of a powervault tape
media library? The web based interface shows the text in this panel as an
un labeled graphic. Dell have no plans to update the firmware therefore
it's unlikely that the web interface will improve. It's a 132T drive.
5. Finally. at the moment because believe me, I could go on for quite a
while, Has anyone found an accessible alternative to VNC where by a screen
reader can shaddow another users windows session?
I'm sorry. I know this is off topic for this list but I've found absolutely
no resource to get these questions answered and I've spent five months in
this job battling against one problem after another as well as trying to
learn about a huge technical infrastructure.
Thanks
Darragh
