I've installed the JFW 15 Beta on my Windows 8 UltraBook. Interestingly, it is the same model used by several of the Freedom Scientific employees. My results with two different installations were discouraging. Although the touch gestures worked pretty well, there was a fundamental flaw. Shutdown of the computer produced a really strange error -- one that I believe was transmitted to Freedom Scientific through the error reporting system. It locked up JAWS and prevented a shutdown. The system just hung there. When a sighted user clicked through the error messages, the computer finally shut down; however, when I started it again, the entirety of the Beta installation vanished. It was like JAWS 15 self-destructed. Initially, I didn't believe what happened -- even though I was a witness. Two weeks later, I tried the again to install JAWS 15. The Ava voice (the sexy one) was already present. So, that wasn't uninstalled. Well, the same exact thing happened. Maybe I could imagine this once, but not twice. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-bounces@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Dave "Farfar" Carlson Sent: Sunday, October 20, 2013 8:37 PM To: The Jaws for Windows support list. Subject: JAWS 15 Beta I've purposely not jumped into installing the JFW 15 Beta yet. What have you others experienced, when using on Windows 7?
