Dear Andrew,
Many thanks for your reply.
When I upgraded my computer much earlier in the year, I just knew that Jaws
would throw a wobbly, and it sure did. I e-mailed Dennis at S&S, and he
confirmed that Jaws wouldn't recognise my new hardware configuration.
I had to re-register, and fortunately I had a life left.
Before installing this new back-up hard drive, I e-mailed Dennis at S&S, and
asked if I'd have the same problem. He confirmed that it would be so. But to
make sure I had a life left, he authorised this with FS.
Sure enough, when I booted up with this new hard drive attached, Jaws
dutifully told me I was in 40-minute mode, and did I wish to register. I saw
no alternative, so downloaded another life.
But, as mentioned in my earlier note, the whole purpose of this new hard
drive is that it is portable, and my computer should be able to be used with
or without it.
I really think this new system is pretty awful, although I guess I can see
no alternative. Mind you, a friend tells me there is no such registration
with Window Eyes.
I'll try what George suggests, and boot up without the external disk at a
time when I can definitely get in touch.
With very best wishes,
Keith

Hi Keith,
I don't think this is right. I have used external disks on this machine
before and they work fine. However, what I have found is sometimes when
starting JFW, I get a message to say it is not registered and have to
restart it again.
With all the mess this system has caused me - eg, not being able to go
through my connection for some very obscure reason, and also despite me
reinstalling on exactly the same hardware, the system says I have new
hardware and I loose a key, I am seriously thinking of not renewing my
SLA as it has now expired, and moving over to Window-eyes or Hal.
Andrew.

Dear All,
Jaws 7, XP home.
I wonder if someone can please help with a query I have.
A little while ago I bought an external hard drive for my PC. It
connects
via a U S B port.
When I connected it, and logged on the computer, Jaws recognised that my
hardware had changed, and insisted that I re-register. This I did, and
all
is now fine.
I also installed the software to run this external hard drive on my
wife's
laptop computer, so that I can in effect connect the drive to her
computer.
However, if I disconnect the drive from my computer, and then boot up my
computer, will Jaws again insist that I re-register, thinking that once
again the hardware configuration has changed? I sincerely hope not, as
this
would be a great inconvenience. The hard drive, of its very nature, is a
portable device, and there may be many times when I wish to use the
computer
with the drive not connected.
Does anyone please know the situation over this matter?
I would welcome some words of comfort.
With many thanks.
Best wishes,
Keith
