Hi Nancy,

Best of luck to you.  I hope you can get Vista running there well.  I think 
once you do so then you will get to like it.  It's not nearly as bad as some 
are making it out to be.  Don't get me wrong, I still use XP here too and 
won't be giving it up either.  Either way you go, I think you will be ok.

Rick

Rick,

Thank you so much for this info.

I am so envious of everyone who has been writing that they're having no
problems with Vista and Jaws 9.

I am hoping to join that group of lucky people once I get this next Jaws 9
update.

And, if not, then I may consider wiping the new computer clean and loading
XP.
A drastic move, I know.

The problem I'm still having is that when I'm either typing an email in
Windows Mail, or a document in NotePad or Microsoft Word , Jaws will read a
blank line where I know there is text.
Or it will read a line twice.
This happens when I'm using the arrow keys to review line by line what I've
typed.
I can have it read all and it reads it fine.

Jaws tech support said they have heard of this issue with other Vista and
Jaws 9 users and one said he is confident the new update will fix that.

So right now I'm typing on my old computer.

All my best,
Nancy
