Question:
What is the difference between the Standard and Professional authorization
versions of JAWS and MAGic?
Answer:
Authorization for the Standard versions of JAWS and MAGic only allow you to
use JAWS or MAGic with Windows 9x and XP Home edition.
Authorization for the Professional versions of JAWS and MAGic allow you to
use JAWS or MAGic with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP Home edition,

Product Name: JAWS
Version: 7.0 plus
Category: System Requirements
Short Description:
JAWS 7.0 or later does not read menus or other items correctly in Windows NT
or 95.
Problem:
When using JAWS 7.0 on a Windows NT or 95 computer, you experience a general
lack of JAWS functionality that may exhibit a wide range of symptoms. One
particular issue is that many menu items may not read correctly.
Solution:
JAWS 7.0 and later does not support Windows NT or 95. One reason is due to
exclusive use of Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) for reading menus in
version 7.0 and later.
It is recommended that you only use JAWS 6.20 or earlier on computers using
Windows NT or 95. You can download JAWS 6.2 and prior versions from the
Freedom Scientific Web site, Additional JAWS for Windows Downloads page.
