Correct, and I have lots of end-users having no difficulties in that environment. I see far far too many blind people blaming their adaptive technologies when it is an underlying system configuration problem, and I'm no fan of the shark other than it has scripts for programs I want/need to run which I don't feel other screen readers can touch. Nick --Original Message Text--- From: William R. McCann Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2006 11:33:37 -0400 Thanks, Sean, but can you give any specifics of problems you've encountered in the past? A knowledgeable and trusted contact from FS tells me that JAWS does support Media Center. One must purchase a JAWS Professional authorization however.

I will not allow any system to be loaded with Windows Media center because of numerous anomalies especially with regards to using JAWS. I can't say for sure just what your going to be dealing with when using CakeTalking and Sonar, but I would never allow a user to have media center on a system I would speck out for a DAW for the blind. Just my opinion. Take Care, Sean A. Cummins Consultant InVision Technical PO Box 2015 Cottonwood, AZ 86326 (928) 646-7233 VP Sean@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Take Care,
