Martin, The poinbt I'm making is that there are two full or purchasable versions of JAWS JAWS standard and JAWS professional. The standard purchased JAWS will not run on XP Pro for more than 40 minutes a go. The (free) demo is just that, running for 40 minutes a go on any Windows OS. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Trodden" <martintrodden@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 07, 2009 1:05 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: avast Hi Flor you have made a good point there. there is two versions of jaws. however the 40 minute version is purly a demo that can be downloaded for free but will run at a limited capasity on both windows home and professional. The full version of jaws will also run in full on both home and professionas version of xp and also on windows vista.
