Re: What to do about XP machines

Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS)
 

After reading the list of fixes, I've decided to take the plunge again,
but I'm not going to go to the trouble until the product release. I was
wondering if service packs might make a difference. I don't remember
what I have at home; it's 2 here. As I recall the differences between 2
and 3 were supposed to be insignificant, and good luck finding a service
pack for XP now.

I have used JAWS 11, 12 and 13 on a Windows XP pro machine with Office
2007.
I haven't really had any problems especially since I got my newer
machine.
I did have the problem with Excel 2007, but I was able to fix that.

Ok, Steve. ... Thanks for the response.

I'm going to play it cool for a while here and see what other feedback
I
get.

Actually, I think my time and energy this week will be spent getting
Jaws 12 up and running on the new Windows 7 laptop the University
will be giving me, so the XP thing can wait for a bit.

Tom,

While several people have reported issues, I've not had any and I
am running XP here with Jaws 12 Pro.

Hello, everyone.

In a recent post, I believe Adrian said the following:

"Many listers have reported flaws in JAWS 12,
possibly because it is more directed to Windows 7 than XP. ... I
still use XP Pro,
and the warnings on this list have convinced me to stay with JAWS 11,
even
though my SMA entitles me to JAWS 12."

The timing for this comment couldn't have been better in my case.

Although this is likely to change soon as my University switches
us all completely over to Windows 7, my desktop at work is still
an XP machine, and still has Jaws 11. The back-up PC I have at
home is an XP machine, and that too has Jaws 11.

So, is the collective wisdom of the group to keep things as they
are now on the XP machines, rather than installing Jaws 12 which
seems to be geared more to Windows 7?

If this is true, you guys have just saved me some head-aches with
my remaining XP computers, and I thank you sincerely for that.

I'll save my headaches for installing Jaws 12 on the new Windows 7
laptop the University will give me this week. (smile)

Tom in Michigan
