Hi,

Both will have some issues. Go Back is a better (?) version of system restore, that puts everything into a logged state where you can role back if needs be. While you can do the role back using Windows, if the system goes wrong, you have to use the Go Back interface as the system boots up. There is no Jaws available for this. Additionally, since it completely modifies the partition system on the disk, you need to be careful with some disk tools - especially if making changes to the partitioning scheme on your disk. I once did some volunteering through the RNIB for someone who had this installed, and they had a nasty problem where the go back drivers had somehow become damaged, and the only way out was to get a Go Back boot disk, and completely disable Go Back. There may be a newer version which is better now, however.

Ghost is a good bit of software, however, the user interface simply is a front end to the non windows based system (in Ghost 2003 anyway), such that when you execute the task, Windows quits and puts you in another application with no speech.

I am sure plenty of people are using these packages with Jaws ok, I am just giving my experiences.

Thanks.
Andrew.

Hi all, got these with my Norton Internet Security package and
wondered if anyone is using either, or both, successfully with Jaws 7?

Thanks
