Allen, I think nearly six months ought to be enough to get Jaws 8 working
properly with standard Windows operating systems and ordinary applications
no worse than Version 7 did. I think you are being far too generous to
suggest that people like me simply overlook the fact that Jaws 8 interferes
with ordinary functions in Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, Word and
practically everything else, where the version before it worked almost
perfectly with everything for me, as did the version before that. Six months
out, post-release, Allen, means that they'll be releasing yet another
version in little more than six months. So how long into the new product's
one-year life span are we supposed to wait in order to show enough patience
and kindness? Sorry, but you must not be having many of the kinds of
problems others are having, and I'm glad for your good fourteen. But this is
not a case of bad attitude on the part of us consumers. Honestly, it isn't.
This is one really buggy release.
Best regards,
Daniel

hmm? is jaws 8.0.XXX really that bad? i use it since last year november till
now, i don't really have much trouble with it. some
time maybe we need to understand that when the program need to implement
some new features and some new product support, there might
be little crappy here and there. so, why can't you people compromise and
give some time for the developer to solve the problem in
the near future?. since day one we use jaws, we already know that there is
some small problem here and there, but i do believe FS
have tryed their best to fix it from time to time. just nothing is perfect
in the world.
sorry if this is not what you all like to hear, but just my perspnal
opinion.
Warmest Regards,

I cannot use the version 8 at all because it will not work with
GroupWise version 6.5.7 and I cannot seem to get Novell to do anything.
F S. says that Novell has to take care of the problem.

Hi George and all,
My biggest problem with JAWS 8 really is the frequent occurrence of
blank
virtual buffers, mostly in Internet Explorer.

Hi All:
With all of the negative comments about JAWS8, just thought I would say
I
have very few problems with JAWS8 and XP, this configuration has been
quite
stable for me. I don't question that some of you are having trouble.
HTH,
