Hi Simon,
You didn't read the message properly <Smile>. I said there is no more
standard for new purchases. Anyone who has a standard version will still be
supported, and still be able to upgrade to the next standard version. You
can also upgrade from Standard to Pro, at an extra cost, but just upgrading
to the latest version by itself, will not get you a Pro version, you will be
on 5.5 standard currently. If you want to upgrade to the pro version, ask
your dealer for a Window-Eyes migration.
All the best

I am getting a bit confused here, as I thought that they put a stop to the
standard and pro fiasco, and there was only one version of window-eyes now.

Hi Andrew,
No standard version of WE works with Windows 2000, only the professional
versions.
All the best

Hi,
Windows 2000 is no longer in real support and so you will end up with
drivers not being available etc. You would also need to upgrade to the
professional version of your screen reader, if using JFW or Windoweyes -
however if I remember correctly an older version (possibly 4.0 of
Windoweyes) may work with the standard version - though please check.
How old is the machine? Are you sure you have drivers for everything? You
really need to do a wipe clean - make at least two partitions - one for the
OS and another one for data, format them both NTFS.
What specs are the machine? it may be cheaper to go with XP Home.
I really wouldn't want to do it, though will help you as much as I can.
Andrew.

Subject: [access-uk] installing win2000pro?
hello list,
I am thinking of changing my os to win2000pro, and would like to know the
following.
can I just install it over the current os, which is win98se, or do I have to
wipe the machine clear first?
is the installation strait forward?
are there any options I should change rather than just letting it go ahead,
to ensure better running of the machine?
any other pointers also would be welcome, as I haven't done anything like
this before, but win98 is starting to get on my nerves a bit.
Simon
