Hi Sue, There's no problem in having multiple versions of JAWS on your system. In fact given your circumstances, it is probably a very good idea, since you can switch from one to the other should you want to make comparisons. There is a "Merge" settings utility, but to be honest, I generally suggest users leave that as a last resort, or at least until they have become more familiar with what's new in Version 9. George.

I'm taking a big step as I'm going from Jaws 6 to 9. I've got the installation disc for Jaws 9, but I'm wondering if I have to de-install version 6 first before installing Jaws 9. I'm also wondering if there's a way of saving the current Jaws settings I have and applying them to Jaws 9 as I've made lots of changes over the past 3 years which is how long I've been using Jaws 6 for believe it or not. I'm a bit nervous about just putting the CD in my drive as I don't want to lose speech altogether. Thanks for any help anyone can give me on this update.
