Hi,
Yes some machines now are coming with Vista 64-bit. I think you need to find
out the manufacturer of the machine (home built, or purchased from a store) to
find out the best way of moving to the 32-bit version or downgrading to XP.
The former is the most likely in my experience; it is difficult to get XP
drivers for some hardware now, especially from some of the big names like Dell,
HP etc.
There is a 64-bit beta of JFW I believe, not sure how stable this is currently.
Thanks.
Andrew.

Subject: [jaws-uk] ~Question about Vista
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
