Hi,
It is possible the laptop could have another language version
preinstalled. I have heard of this before where an OEM puts their image
onto the laptop and it is not the *country* specific version of Windows.
What make of laptop is it?
I can never remember how to check the version of Windows installed -
there is a way to get the country info out of it, its not obviously
available IIRC.
Thanks.
Andrew.

Ok group, here's an odd one for you.
After I installed J6 from the CD I got off S&S, I chose to activate
using the net and followed the prompts until I got that message which
says that activation had been successful. When I clicked the OK button
on that message, another box appeared saying; and here's the problem:
"This application is not authorized for use with this language of the
operating system. Call your local access technology dealer or contact
Freedom Scientific at 727-803-8000or sales@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for
information about updating your authorization".
If I click ok on the above dialog box Jaws goes into the 40 minutes demo
mode, and every time I restart J6 the same language incompatibility
message appears along with that little activation box which asks if you
want to start activating your version of Jaws. In other words I can't
get J6 to authorise.
Some more info which might be relevant:
- I'm using an up to date XP English version Home Edition SP2.
- Both the Default input language and the Installed services are English
UK in the Languages page/Regional and language options, and no other
languages are installed.
- Before installing this Jaws 6 which I received on a CD, I uninstalled
the downloadable Jaws 6 which I was using, and I chose to keep my
settings.
- Uninstalling Jaws and reinstalling it again didn't work.
- I bought my laptop from PC World so there's nothing funny about it
*Smile*.
I contacted S&S but they asked for some more time to investigate and I'm
not blaming them, I think that this is a weird one.
So, anyone can crack this mystery? Hope I explained things well.
Thanks for any feedback I may receive.
Amro
