Chris, it's not that easy I'm afraid as I don't have an sma so am stuck at Jaws 8. I am assured this should be ok with Vista home premium. Btw if anyone else has replied to my original message could they repost as I've switched from getting list emails from digest to normal and thus not had any messages since yesterday afternoon. Many thanes, Phil -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chris Hallsworth Sent: 26 August 2008 08:56 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Installing Jaws 8.02 on a Windows Vista home premium laptop Phil, please upgrade to the latest build of JAWS 9. JAWS 10 is out, but only in public beta, so if you want to take that risk of trying beta software, upgrade to JAWS 9. Good luck. -- Chris Hallsworth E-mail: christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN: ch9675@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: chrishallsworth7266 Klango: chrishallsworth FTP: ftp://chrishallsworth.dyndns.org ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Stephenson" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, August 25, 2008 9:14 PM Subject: [access-uk] Installing Jaws 8.02 on a Windows Vista home premium laptop > Hi, > > Following death of aforementioned Toshiba laptop I have bitten the > bullet and bought an Acer laptop this weekend.
