Sometimes it will happen that an older version of JAWS works better with a particular program than the newer one. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Culhane" <tim.culhane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 7:30 AM Subject: [vicsireland] Re: 2 jaw installed Hi Tony, You can have as many versions of jaws installed on your pc as you like. As only the one currently being run will be held in memory, the amount of memory you have isn't relevant. The only advantage I can see of having an existing version of Jaws installed when you install a new version is that you can run the merge utility from the new version and it will configure the new version to use all the settings in the old version, i.e. Speech rate, verbosity settings etc. This can save you having to configure the new version to your liking.

I learned today that for example I could have jaws 8 & 9 on my PC at the same time, closing down the version I don't need! I wonder if there is any advantage to having two installed? My memory on the computer is good! Any response gratefully appreciated. All the bbest, Tony Sweeney.
