Hello Lovette, I saw your post regarding suggestions for what kind of laptop to buy and use with your earlier version of JAWS. One list member suggested you buy a laptop that was loaded with Windows XP Pro. That version of Windows XP will only work with JAWS Pro versions, so unless you have a JFW Pro authorization, JAWS will only work in 40 minute demo mode. You can buy an authorization upgrade for the pro version of JAWS but I think it will cost you about $250. Best regards, Alan
