Martien, I would suggest you avoid Windows 8 at all costs. You would have to upgrade Jaws to Jaws 14 for one thing. Even then that would depend on which version of Windows 8 you install. If it is standard then, regular jaws 14 will be enough, but if it is windows 8 pro, then Jaws 14 will have to be pro as well. Best Wishes Stephen ________________________________ From: martien boerefijn <m.boerefijn@xxxxxxxx> To: blind-chess@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, 21 August 2013, 16:51 Subject: [blind-chess] Re: A question for NVDA users Stephen, Tanks for your attention, but I know support will stop.
