Hmmm, Peter,

I don't have the issue you raised in your second point at all. Jaws is in both the system tray and comes up with the insert+j keystroke. I am running Jaws9.0.429. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Holdstock" <peterholdstock@xxxxxxx>

Here are a couple of points I've just found today and reported to Freedom
Scientific. Would be interested to know if anybody else has had them.

Firstly, once you've create an appointment in Outlook calendar which spans
more than one day and go back to it, JAWS only says there is an appointment
on the first day, but doesn't automatically announce it on the following
days. However if you tab through the days appointments, it does say it's
there.

JAWS - If I have JAWS start from system tray, JAWS then doesn't become
available in the system bar and the only way I can get it back up again is
to choose it from the start menu and act as if I'm launching it again, then the window comes up. That's the only way to get to the JAWS window as INSERT
J doesn't work or INSERT F11 doesn't have it listed.

Subject: the new jaws 9, how is it?


I did not download the new 9. I am waiting to see what others say.

I see many comments, not all that many problems. It seems like a winner from
here.

However, I guess, is it an upgrade from 8 enough to buy it? Or, is it the
final answer to vista to work super good with the new windows?

Here's my experience quickly. I bought vista using the new jaws beta. Vista
worked so slowly, it seemed like it was running in paragraph mode. it was
too slow to use honestly. I was bummed. I see nothing about sluggishness on
the list? does anyone really see any sluggishness? I see no reason to move
ahead unless it works as quickly as xp pro did. I like x p pro. yes, few
games, gadgets etc on vista. sort to apprehensive to do it because of my
experience.

I had a xps 1710m, with 2 gigs memory, fairly nice cpu. barely worked fast
enough to listen to it. this was march April of this year.

any thoughts?

thanks,

Julian
