Hi,
Ok, looks like I've got an answer of sorts to my issues installing Jaws
8.0.2173 on my new laptop running Windows Vista home premium.
In short as the laptop is running Vista sp1 looks like Jaws 8 just ain't
going to work on it. So having checked the Freedom Scientific website and
spoken to Sight & Sound and being informed that Jaws 8.02173 would work with
this version of Vista I have now been informed that with the release of
Vista SP1 Jaws 8 is no longer an option. So at the mo I'm running Jaws 9 in
demo mode, not exactly a a good long term option but it'll have to do until
I can get Jaws 9.
No I'm not a happy bunny, I thought I'd done my research, I knew Jaws 9 was
my best option but I thought I'd be able to use Jaws 8 for now until I could
upgrade.
What can I say, lesson learned, don't rely on the info given by FS.
To those of you who want to say "told you so"...just don't!
Grump!
Phil
