Home Premium will allow you to run programs that ran on an earlier version of Windows, known as compatibility mode. Just press alt+enter on the program, CTRL+tab to the compatibility page, and check the first box, "Run this program in compatibility mode". Press enter to save changes. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Vic Llanes Sent: 28 October 2009 3:55 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: win7 Jaws and talking dictionary Being new to windows 7, how does one install in compatibility mode? Second, can I do this with Home Premium? What do you all think, is it worth upgrading to Professional? ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Hallsworth <mailto:christopherh40@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 12:13 PM Subject: RE: win7 Jaws and talking dictionary Have you tried installing it in compatibility mode? -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Vic Llanes Sent: 27 October 2009 4:06 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: win7 Jaws and talking dictionary Hi all! Since windows 3.1 I've been using a really nice and Jaws friendly talking dictionary which is American heritage v3.5 and I've used it until XP. Just got a new computer with windows 7 today and of course I cannot install it anymore. I have windows 7 home but am willing to upgrade to pro if it would make it work again. But the really good thing is if I were to find a speech friendly dictionary and thesaurus that will work with win7 off the box. Does anyone have any suggestion? -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
