Yardbird, I prefer to think that he didn't intentionally rip me off, I agree
that it was probably an honest mistake. I already had the jaws 7 disc and I
didn't get it from him. Thanks, Judith

Hey friends,
I'm not sure what profit there would be for a tech who helped by putting
your new system together if he/she/it bought you the more expensive version
of Jaws though you didn't really need it. I think only Freedom Scientific
would come out ahead on that one, unless the tech is taking his own markup
on each thing he buys for you, as if acting as a vendor? When you should
have been paying just a fee for doing the job of assembling the system? No,
I think it was an honest, if unfortunate, mistake. Unless, Judith, you tell
us that the person bought all the hardware and software for you and charged
you a markup on everything, as if he were a vendor. But that doesn't sound
kosher, if you ask me.

Thanks guys, its nice to know that, as a jaws user, there are people out
there who take advantage of individuals who cannot do the extensive research
they need to do in order to not be ripped off. Judith

Tell you what, that tech is about as crazy as they come.
JAWS does *not* need XP Pro to function properly.
That person either knows not what he/she/it speaks about or he/she/it flat
lied to you.

Richard, According to the teck I bought this from jaws needs xp pro to function properly. Jaws itself is working fine on my computer, its just all the other idiosyncracies that are wacky.

Someone that was having difficulty with their new computer mentioned that they were running Windows XP Pro and Jaws Standard. Someone else has already mentioned that this may be the cause of the problem. I can't confirm that but I would't be surprised if that was the case.
In the past week I purchased a new laptop that is running Windows Media Center Edition (Windows Home was not an option).
Freedom Scientific, on their website, lists Jaws Standard as being compatible only with XP Home Edition. If this is not true then I believe that their sales department would have advised me that I had the option of not upgrading, rather than upgrading to Jaws Pro at a cost of $368 ($200 upgrade plus $200 for the SMA minus $60 refund for 1 unused version upgrade plus sales tax.
As I understand it, XP Media Center is based on Pro with certain functions disabled and with other functions added.
Can anyone elaborate on this?
