1) What version of Vista is on the laptop? 2) Exactly what Version of JAWS 8 do you have? The current version (certainly on mine) is 8.0.2173U. 3) If Vista has "Home" in the name of it, JAWS Standard should work. If it does NOT have "Home" in it's name, you will need JAWS Professional.

I've got JAWS 8 home basic edition. If I were to get a laptop with Vista pre-installed, would I need to upgrade my jaws package? And if so, how much would that cost?
