Hi David, two points. Firstly the 64-bit issue. There is I believe a 64-bit 
edition of Jaws, although as yet only a beta. If she wants to get rid of Vista 
and go back to xp there wouldn't be a problem, providing that her hard disk 
doesn't have a recovery partition, as many OEM systems have.
                    John.

  Hi list,

  A friend of mine, who is not very computer literate, has just purchased a new 
computer and being helped by an RNIB volunteer.  The computer is running Vista 
and she also has Jaws 10 professional.

  When the volunteer tried to install Jaws it came up with a message that this 
version of Jaws could not run with Vista as it was a 64 bit machine.

  She has been in touch with Sight & Sound who said that Vista would work fine 
with her version of Jaws but no mention was made about bits.  Her enquiry was 
made before she knew about the bits problem.

  She wants to know if Vista can be removed and replaced by XP?  Any advice or 
information would be appreciated.

  Regards

  David
