Do you have a JAWS disk? Have you looked at any of the training
material on the JAWS disk? When Vista came out, the introductory
training material was completely rewritten. It explains, step by setp,
every detail of the installation including what to do to work with UAC,
User Account Control. the JAWS training material is more or less
adequate for Vista but you may find it more pleasant and easier to
learn some important Vista basics by seeing if Cathy Anne Murtha has
the short tutorial she did on the Vista start menu and the Microsoft
Word ribbon. While you evidently are not interested in the Word part of
the tutorial, the Vista start menu will give you good, well organized,
basic information about one of the most important structural changes in
vista, the new start menu. I would advise learning about it rather than
simply reverting to the classic start menu. You can make Vista work
much like XP if you revert but you will then not be able to use some
new Vista features and you may find you want to use them if you don't
reject them before trying them.
Do you know how to use the Daisy (spelling) reader that FS provides to
listen to training material? I don't know if you can listen to it
directly from the cd or if you need to place it on your computer.

Thanks, was not sure about that.. Are the keystroke commands different
for
Jaws 10 version and Vista home Premium? I know there is a help file but
I am
not real good at going by those.. I will have to learn them if there
are
quite a lot of them, someone said there was.. Thanks again, Pat

Just install jaws and when it first starts it will ask you if you want
to
start jaws automatically. That should do the trick. There's nothing
special about vista.

Subject: [accesscomp] Windows Vista & Jaws version 10
I recently bought a new computer on line and still have to get Jaws
version
10 loaded on it. This is Vista Home Premium with a quad core AMD
processor..
Is there any certain way to install Jaws so it will come on at the
start
menu atutomatically on this type of computer. It does that on mne now
but I
have XP now.. Please send me the instructions if you can on how to do
this
where it comes on when the computer is booted up or restarted and will
come
on every time automatically, I am not sure how to do this on this model
computer..It may not make a difference but still was wondering if any
of you
have Windows Vista Home Premium, I am sure you do and have installed
Jaws
version 10 to start automatically at the beginning or start menu..
Thanks,
Pat
