I do not think there are any settings in either Windows 7 or Vista that are required for JAWS. I remember that XP did require several setting changes for JAWS to work. I do change several things for my own preference. Most of these are in the Folder options. I prefer the Details view in Windows Explorer. In Windows 7, the details are treated as a grid that can be navigated left and right as well as up and down. This makes it easy to check dates or size. I think Microsoft stole this concept from Linux. I also set it to view hidden files and extensions. JAWS can not deal with Aero at this time. JAWS will turn this off automatically when started. However, if you install Windows 7 to a VMware virtual machine, it will cause problems. In this case, you need to turn off Aero. The easiest way to do this is to change the theme to Windows Classic. Some people can not get Windows 7 and JAWS to work in a virtual machine. It just randomly blue screens.
Windows 7 works great with JAWS 11. I certainly enjoy the new features in Windows 7.

Hello all,I'm debating putting windows seven on my laptop, and was going to get jaws 11. I know in xp there were a few settings that made things work better, is it the same for seven? What sorts of things need to be set for accessibility?Thanks, Tyler Littlefield http://tds-solutions.net Twitter: sorressean __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
