Using JAWS V8, you definitely had to turn it off. With V9 FS fixed the
issues relating to it, although I have UAC disabled anyway for other
technical reasons.
I also remember that in V8 you needed to ensure that enhanced edit support
was enabled in the config files for the script manager which I see it is in
V9 now as a default.

That probably was early on when jaws itself didn't even work with UAC on.
That's long ago now though with version 9.

That's interesting, I was sure that FS had said to turn UAC off, but that
could have been in the early stages.

I have compiled scripts under JAWS 9 and Vista Home Premium using the
Script Manager with UAC enabled without any difficulties, and this
thread is the first I've heard saying that you have to shut UAC off
before compiling. I never have, and since UAC is a security feature,
I don't recommend shutting it off unless you are sure of the security
of the environment your Vista box is in.

I personally do not have any problems with vista what so ever.
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.

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.
Regards,
Jim

Jim & Greg:
1st, Jim--I wonder what issues you're having w/vista? 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.
