Re: System image and anti-virus software for Windows 8
Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS)
This good old machine is a desktop. They have some of the world's poorest tech support, but I guess you don't need tech support when the thing just keeps perking along. The only way I know about the tech support was I had some questions early in the game, one of which they were able to answer, and the other of which I found on my own, quite by accident--great hardware, though.

Hi Ted,
My XP machine was a Dell and I also used a wireless keyboard as I didn't like having to use the laptop layout for JAWS.
About all I can say about the HP laptops is that there a couple of places on the top of the keyboard just under the screen which turn on and off all kinds of things and those places seem to be heat sensative.
You don't have to press anything, just pass your hand across the area and you have had it. (LOLLOLLOL) My wife has a year newer HP than I do and her keyboard on the laptop itself is set to make the F keys media ready. F7 does not call on the spell checker. (LOLLOLLOL) I am migrating to a MacBook Pro so, hopefully, I will leave the world of JAWS behind.

Man, I don't know what happened, but it had to be really BIOS- or hardware-specific, but it was real! We swapped out the batteries, and were at our wits end, when I decided to do the obvious and undo the last change, which was MSE. I guess I didn't mention the keyboard is wireless, if that made any difference.

Hi,
I have used MSE on my XP laptop for some time and had no problems.
I now use MSE on myW7 HP 64 bit laptop and it works quite well.

Just one caveat. I think my experience was fairly unique, but Essentials totally disabled the keyboard on my HP, running XP. It was so bad, I needed sighted assistance uninstalling it. I never tried to find out what happened; once was more than enough.

I would suggest Security Essentials from Microsoft but it does not work on Windows 8. alternately, Windows 8 does come with a modified version of MSE which is compatible with Windows 8 and is called Windows Defender.

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for a system image /backup and anti virus software solution compatible with JAWS and Windows 8.
I have asked people who recommended Norton Ghost, but on investigation it is not compatible with Windows 8.
Also, I have used Avast in the past for a anti virus solution, so I'm just curious is there anything better?
I am seeking this information because I am purchasing a new laptop for my Masters programme and I want to future proof it.
Any information /suggestions are very welcome.
Kind regards,
Niall
