Hi Keith In relation to your first query, I can indeed confirm JAWS works on Vista, but you would be better using JAWS 9.0.

Hi all, I've got two queries, i hope someone's got the answers; First I'm about to get a new laptop. Until now I've only used XP but apparently all new PC's and laptops have vista as standard. I'm told vista isn't very user-friendly for jaws users. Can anyone confirm or correct this? Can you use jaws on a computer with vista? Second I've hit a problem; i can play CD;s and DVD;s, i can read and copy files from CD's and DVD's, but i can't write to CD or DVD either via the send to submenu or by copy and paste, the drives don't even appear on the send to submenu. I've put new CD and DVD writers on my computer. Any ideas?
