Hi Andy
Fantastic! I'm thrilled for you that you've found something you like. I
must admit that I rate HP machines, both from the laptop I use constantly
these days, and the desktop my son has. They are very quiet and
unintrusive.
I've still left mine set to the way it looks under XP, just because I
haven't been bothered to change it from the way Ian customised it last
summer. It works, and I'm happy with it, so leave well alone.
I'm sure you will find JFW version 9.0 works well with it. I think it
would be worth upgrading if you can.
Good luck mate, and have fun!!

Hi Jackie.
I'm messing about with my new computer and like it a lot. Pauline is
also very impressed. It's so quiet and my 20 inch display is lovely. I
don't thin I'll change to Classic View just yet as it really looks like
something new and interesting.
I was offered Norton at PC World yesterday and I declined it saying that
I use NOD 32. My NOD 32 runs out in a week or so and I was intending to
purchase it for another year. However, to my horror, I discovered this
evening that Norton is already installed. Not sure now whither to just
stick with it as it's terribly difficult to get rid of it from a system.
I think you need a special tool.
I've not yet installed my Soundblaster so hopefully, later this week,
I'll be blasting out my music.
I'm thus far , so pleased that I opted for VISTA.
Best wishes.
Andy.

Hi Andy
Just to say well done, and hope all goes well. When I got my laptop
last summer, I don't recall having to do anything exciting to get JAWS
to work. When version 9.0 came out, I upgraded from version 8, and it's
been fine.
You will find some security differences in Vista from XP, but JAWS does
speak with everything I've come across, so just go for it and enjoy!!
(smile.)
Better than an Easter egg eh?

Subject: [access-uk] VISTA ready to go
Hi all.
Took the big plunge today and purchased a HP VISTA desk-top PC. It's
sitting in the kitchen in a couple of big boxes and I'm planning to put
it together tomorrow with sighted assistance from my wife Pauline.
I have a copy of JAWS Pro 8 to install, though I am hoping to upgrade
this week to JAWS Pro 9, which will probably arrive within ten days.
So I've not done a thing to it thus far. I'm looking for some advice.
For example, is there anything that I should do to the settings prior
to installing JAWS. For example, I have since Windows 95 used the High
Contrast Number 2 display colour option as this is less harsh on my
eyes. Should I wait until JAWS has been installed before attempting to
change this?
I have a document titled something like Setting up XP to work with
JAWS. I have used the recommendations in this document for several
years, to change settings to maximise JAWS. I was wondering if there
was perhaps a similar document which would tell me how to enable JAWS
to work at it's best in VISTA?
So there is a couple of questions off the top of my head and perhaps
there is a more crucial modification that I need to make but don't yet
know of it. Perhaps JAWS will work with VISTA out of the box, so to
speak, but given past experience, I doubt it very much.
Looking forward to lots of advice.
Best wishes.
Andy.
