As far as gaining easy access to windows features c# is far preferable.
C++ would require that you first learn the basic language and then
learn the windows environment. The C# library subsumes a lot of that
while not providing direct access to a lot of the gritty internals.
Game wise it would depend a great deal on exactly what you want to
create.
I haven't tried it but would certainly expect vs to work on 64 bit
systems, at least releases from vs2005 and on or so.
As for scripts, I know there is a third party script package available
but forget where I found it. The scripts included with JAWS are for
earlier versions only if memory serves.

Hello Listers,
I have just joined this group and am hoping someone here can help me.
I'm
trying to decide whether to learn C++ or C# for the purpose of
programming
accessible games. So my first question is which language would be better
suited to that purpose. My second question is the basic sort of
accessibility question which I understand is the main purpose of this
group.
I am currently runningJaws 9 on a Windows XP Home system. I have
downloaded
Microsoft Visual Studio with the intention of exploring both languages.
But
when I try to run either of them, I get the scary bonk noise and an error
box telling me that i need to download a file called vs.net from the
Freedom
Scientific site. I've done that and run the setup file. Everything
seemed
to go smoothly, but when I tried once again to launch VS, I got the same
bonk and error message. Does anyone here have a notion as to what I
might
do to get Jaws to talk to VS the way it's supposed to? Also, I will be
upgrading to a 64 bit Windows 7 system with Jaws 11 in a few weeks and
would like to know if I can runVS on that.
If neitiher of these are possible, I would like to know if there are
other
accessible implementations of either C# or C++. I haven'tgotten far with
either, so what I decide to pursue will be based more or less entirely on
what I can get at with Jaws.
Thanks,
--Bill
