I have no serious problems with Vista here on two machines either.

I have it running on 2 machines here and it runs just fine. To use the script manager, just remember to turn the UAC (user account control) off. There is actually a way you can compile scripts without turning it off but it is a little complex. -----Original Message----- From: jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of James Panes Sent: Saturday, 19 April 2008 7:10 PM To: jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Introduction and a question Hi Jackie, Thanks very much for this information. It is good to know that it is possible to live with Vista where no other option is available. Recently, I put the question out to the list asking if anyone has had any good experience with Vista. There were several answers saying, "No.", and none saying "Yes.". I have no actual experience with it myself. Thanks again and happy hacking.

I have xp but recently needed to fix a vista machine. & once I figured out what was up w/it, it wasn't at all bad. In fact, there are some features which actually make it advantageous, such as that the sound card is operational in safe mode, etc. So, just for the record, I think vista is quite accessible, especially if u turn off the annoying user control thinggie & if u understand what it's doing. Jaws has a good tutorial on accessing vista, should any1 need that. Greg, As for FS's info, I think the basics of scripting & the tutorials are all on Inthane's site--I don't know of anything that fs has on its site that isn't on the grab bag as well, but that doesn't mean there isn't something. Look at both, get whatever u need. This list is a good place to get started.
