Hi Nic
You say that you are going to install XP pro but, unless you have the pro
version of jfw, it will only work in demo mode - That is, it will work for
40 minutes before a re-boot is required.
Your wifes copy of Jaws would have come with a floppy disc with five keys on
it so, all you really need to do is to simply install Jaws on the new hard
drive using a new key. This should be automatic. Put the Jaws CD and the
floppy disc with the keys on in your machine and it will auto-run, then just
follow the instructions on screen (These will actually be spoken).
If you want to save the key that you used to install the one that is on the
computer at the moment, here's how:
Uninstalling Jaws
First you can goe to the dirrectory in wich your copy of JAWS is located,
then go to Hjauth.exe. Or, Place your JAWS authorization disk in to the disk
drive on your computer, and open the start menue.
Then type a R for run, and type in
A:\Hjauth.exe and press enter.
Then when the Authorization maniger dialog comes up, tab to a groupe of 5
radio buttons.
Downarow to the Uninstall authorization, tab to a edit box. Make sure drive
C: or what ever drive windows is installed on is there.
Then tab to the exacute button press spacebar on the button, and waight
untill your disk drive stops spinning.
Your authorization key will be then moved back to the disk, and you can
simply install JAWS, and then the key.
Some Helpfull notes:
In the edet box with the Currently selected drive before the
exacute button, make sure you don't type over that text.
Replaceing that text with anything else, could cause problems.
And If you ever type A: don't. I did that once, and ended up eraseing all my
authorization keys on the floppy disk.
Finally, here are recommended settings for jaws users with XP:
Windows XP and JAWS
This topic discusses settings changes we recommend you make when using JAWS
in Windows XP Home or Professional. You must be logged in with
administrative rights to make several of these changes.
Many of these settings are changed within Control Panel. To open Control
Panel, press the WINDOWS KEY to open the Start Menu, move to Control Panel,
and press ENTER. Depending on your system settings, Control Panel either
opens in a separate window, or the Control Panel items open as a sub-menu.
We recommend making changes in the following areas:
• Display Properties
• Folder Options
• Start Menu
• Windows Explorer
• System Performance
Display Properties
1. From the Control Panel, move to "Display" and press Enter.
2. From the themes combo box, select Windows XP.
3. In the List of backgrounds on the Desktop page, choose Bliss.
4. Set Position to "Stretch".
5. In the Screen Saver combo box on the Screen Saver page, press HOME to
select none.
6. On the Appearance page, set Windows and Buttons to Windows classic style.
7. Set Color Scheme to Windows Standard.
8. Set Font to normal.
9. Close the dialog.
Note: After making these changes, the Display page Themes combo box says
"Modified Theme".
Folder Options
1. From the Control Panel, press ALT+T to go to the Tools menu

B. Clear the Hide Extensions For Known File Types check box.
C. If you also use screen magnification software, clear the Show pop-up
description for folder and desktop items check box. Pop up descriptions
often hides
the menu item just below any given menu item, making it impossible to
visually see the next item in the menu list.
D. Move to the Apply to All Folders button and press SPACEBAR.
E. Answer Yes to the dialog that comes up to acknowledge this change.
5. Move to the OK button in the Folder Options dialog box and press SPACEBAR

select this and close the menus.

I have to say, I got most of these notes from a variety of sources but I
have no saved the source with the information. So, I apologise for using
someone else's idea's but do not claim them as my own.
