Perhaps Andy has a Jaws Pro as well, I have always understood Media Centre Edition as a subset of the Professional operating systems. It is possible that Microsoft have managed to juggle things to change this aspect of the system given there are yearly editions but it was certainly how it started out and how we were originally advised of the O/S status.

How come Andy's Jaws works on his XP Home computer while it is installed with Media Centre. I have Windows XP Pro and Have just ordered Jaws Pro. But Andy's works as is ... and he is running XP Home, so i don't think Media Centre runs under XP Pro alone.

Windows XP Media Centre is a subset (or at least closer to being) of XP Pro oweing to it's use of encyption which is required for protection of the media files and does not feature in the XP Home series products which has no serious file access protection and no file encryption facilities. Your screen access product such as Jaws will see it the same way. Regards.
