Hi Jackie, Good to hear from you. I'm hopefully getting Jaws 9 as part of ATW provision but I only have Jaws 8 at home at present which is where I'm getting laptop for. Sounds irritating but I may just have to put up with it at home for a while anyway...

When I bought my laptop a year ago running Vista Home Premium, we were on 8 something or other, and it was largely ok, but had a habit of timing out on occasions and then dropping into demo mode for no reason. It came up with some sort of "error 6" message which it tended to do while I was performing a task such as Scandisk or Defrag. I haven't seen it since 9.0.2169, so I'm not sure what it was.

I'm currently on Jaws v8.02 which according to the FS info should work ok with windows vista, is this definitely the case, is there anything else I need to check?
