Not exactly the same, but similar... On a Lonova ThinkPad I set up last fall with VISTA home (premium, I think) and the first build of JAWS9, we ended up having to disable UAC to keep JAWS from switching into demo mode. If I remember, evrytime UAC came up, JAWS switched to demo.

If I update it while using the wired nic until it's a registered copy again, then when I switch back to my wireless nic it's an unregistered demo copy again. Has anyone seen this happen? On my thinkpad laptop, which was running xp and an earlier version of jaws, I frequently switched between wired and wireless without a problem, so I'm guessing this is related to the latest build or vista, and was just wondering if anyone else is seeing this? thanks.
