Hello,
Will the IE 8 for Windows Vista work on Windows 7? Because I do not see IE 8
for Windows 7.
Thank you,

Hi Brandon,

Did you have IE8 installed at any time on this computer before? If not,
you will need to Download IE8 but, don't install it. Follow the steps below
to remove IE9.

From: Flor Lynch

Do the following in Windows 7

1. Open the start menu and in the search edit box, type updates.
2. Wait a moment, then arrow down to "Show installed updates"
3. Press enter key and wait for the list to load up.
4. Now press the tab key till you come to another search box and in it
type the following;
Internet Explorer

5. After waiting a few moments, press the tab key till you come to a
results
list. IE9 will now be in the results.

6. Press the down arrow key once; then press the "application key" and
down
arrow to uninstall and then press the enter key.

7. Just follow the prompts from here on to remove the item.
Flor

After removing uninstalling IE9, you can now install IE8. Another thing,
set your updates so you can install them or, Widows7 will download & install
them, which will install IE9 again. The next time you see IE9 as an update,
hide it! Hope this helps. Take care & have a happy New Year.
Mike

Hello,
I was looking at IE trying to figure out why it was showing so many
line-breaks.
I have IE 9 which to my knowledge does not work well with Jaws 11.
Is there any way to downgrade IE 9 to IE 8? I googled it, but no one
seemed
to be downgrading their IE 9 on a Windows 7 computer.

Also, what have people found is the best anti virus program to work with
Jaws?
thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs

Yeh it will be the same thing. Just don't tick the box to remove the
driver
if it's available. What laptop do you have as there will likely be a key
to
disable it. I'm assuming you are referring to the touchpad or joystick
thing

actually on the keyboard rather than a seperate mouse?

Hi Peter
I was not able to find a disable choice. If I get desperate, I could
choose
the uninstall option.
If I choose the unstall option, would I then be given the disable option?

This is a Dell and it may be the way they set the driver.

I can go to the Control Panel and to Mouse and turn it off, but Windows 7
will fix this and turn it back on.

Hi, you will be able to disabled the mouse using Device Manager. Just type
in device manager on the start menu. Once it's up tab then go down the
list
to mice and other pointing devices and expand it. Then go to the mice
devices and press the applications key. Then go to disable. Note that will
disable the mouse but won't uninstall it. Don't tick the box if it's
present

offering to uninstall the driver though as that will delete the driver.

I have a Dell laptop and it has no way to turn off the monitor unless I
hook
it to an external monitor.
But I can turn the brightness down very low to save battery life. This is
done by holding down the Function Key and pressing the down arrow.
If I need my wife to bail me out of trouble, I hold down the Function Key
and press the up arrow to restore the brightness.

My wife has a Sony Laptop and it has a switch to turn off the monitor, and
she does not need this feature.

What I would like to see is a feature to turn off the mouse.

Hello,
That works marvelously! It's not the same, but the small icons make things
so much easier to navigate!
I think it was the fact that I had a 32 bit Jaws on a 64 bit computer that
was giving me all the big problems.
Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the mute button on Windows
7?
For some reason they have a mute button up on the top of the keyboard, but
they don't have a button to turn off the monitor. That is just strange...
Thanks,

One thing you can do with the CTRL panel once you are in it Is navigate to
the search with CTRL E, tab once until you hear category button and press
space bar. Once the context menu is up arrow up or down and enter on
large
icons or small icons.
Then you can just use letter navigation from there to get to the various
different items in the CTRL panel instead of tabbing around.
If this isn't what you are referring to with the "classic view" of the
CTRL
panel I will just show myself the door lol.

Hello,
I have disabled the touchpad and all touch things on my computer. I have
set
everything I could find to work best with Jaws.
I could not find how to make the control panel Classic view. What I mean
by
Classic view is Icons instead of links. In every version up to windows 7
(including Vista) there is a setting you can toggle that will make Control
Panel Icons in rows that you can arrow through. With this windows 7 I'm
forced to hit tab to navigate through a long list of links. This is not
effective in any shape or form.
I perhaps think that there might be a Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 7 32
bit,
but on my CD I saw no double installation. I did see a difference on the
website. Right after I sent this email I Installed the Jaws 11 off FS's
Website and restarted my computer a multitude of times. Once everything
looked to be in order I opened up IE and Jaws promptly Crashed. My
computer
is restarting as I'm typing.

I called FS this morning to ask them to give me another activation and I
asked them if there was anything I needed to know to make Jaws work on a
Windows 7 computer as on other versions of windows there are a few things
you need to do to make Jaws run optimally. I was told that Jaws ran on
Windows 7 no problem.

Needless to say this is the most difficulty in installing Jaws I've ever
had...
If it is truly necessary, I can bug DOR to buy me Jaws 13, but I was
waiting
to do that till the Summer when I will have lots of free time to be on the
phone.
Thank you,

Brandon,

Forget about Control Panel in Classic View. There are many once-familiar
dialogs that will look different from XP.

Don't think Home vs. Professional has anything to do with it, unless you
have a non-professional version of JAWS on a professional operating
system.

Have no idea about your line breaks, except that you might want to make
sure
you have IE maximized.

What do you mean by "out of the box" with regard to Freedom Scientific?

I didn't have to fiddle with anything when I got my Windows 7 machine and
JAWS 12 installed.

Do you perhaps have a touchpad or a touch stick that's getting in your way
when you're working? I turned both mine off to prevent accidental movement
of the cursor.

You have JAWS 11 and I'm not sure that JAWS 11 has all the bugs worked out
with regard Windows Live Mail.

Hello,
I just got a Windows 7 computer and I'm having some difficulties finding
the
optimal settings to set my computer at.
I was told by FS that it came out of the box perfectly configured. I know
this is wrong because on webpages I see 10 line breaks where there should
only be 1 or 2, I'm not hearing characters when I erase them in some text
boxes, when I erase Jaws says the character that's ahead and not the one
it's supposed to be erasing, while I'm typing this message in Windows Live
Mail my Jaws curser is jumping to the desktop at random times, On the HP
solution center everything is unlabeled, Jaws is not reading some of the
notification windows that pop up, the F keys don't work except in key
combinations, I can't seem to get the Control Panel in Classic view, Jaws
doesn't seem to want to start up when I turn on the computer. These are
what
I've found after the second hour with this darn computer!
I'm using Jaws 11 with Windows 7, an HP computer.
Perhaps the problem is that the CD I installed is home and not
professional.
Is there a way to tell?
So far it looks like people saying Windows 7 being better is all a myth
and
I should just
go back to my Vista machine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,

Brandon Keith Biggs
