MessageWindows Media Center Edition 2004 works great with JAWS for me. As for
the 4x3 16.9 issue, I've never had a probelm with that either. I know it does
support the differant sizes and even if you have a 16.9 program on a 4.3 screen
it comes up in letterbox format which is good enough.
Just a point but as a JAWS user I don't really have an issue with how the video
looks. I'm surprised anybody with enough sight to see a movie would bother
learning JAWS as there are much easier alternatives for low vision users.

Are you saying you actually got the thing to work? Version 2005 looks like
nothing but a blank screen. If Media Center (the app, not the OS)is usable,
I'd like to know more, and would be willing to pursue it off list at
tlisle@xxxxxxxxx However, I'll bet there are one or two others who are as
nonplussed as I am.
I'd especially like to know how DVD friendly it is. Now days we have old TV
shows and movies in standard (4-3) aspect ratio, whereas most newer flicks will
have a 16-9 alternative, something which neither Media Player nor Real Player
addresses adequately. I've been giving serious consideration to upgrading an
OEM of WinDVD, but, if there's another viable alternative, I'd like to explore
it.

I've used Windows Media Centre 2004 and found it very accessible with JAWS
6.2. I really liked it as it was much easier to use than Windows Media Player.
I also found having the ability to read the TV schedules using JAWS and record
programs was fantastic.

From all I know, yes, you have to have JAWS Pro for Windows XP Media
Center Edition.
Do not confuse this with the program Windows Media Center which can run
under Windows Xp Home.
The Windows XP Media Center Edition is just one of the several WindowsXP
versions such as Home and Pro.
It is getting harder and harder to find a new computer which is *not* a
Media Center or Pro version of XP.

Is it true that you must have Jaws Pro to run Windows Media Center?
Thanks, Marie
