Please don't direct me to gwmicro.com or make a phone call because one, there closed until the 4th and I have done the aforementioned and no results. p.s googling didn't work either. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Keith Hinton Sent: Thursday, December 31, 2009 9:52 AM To: jaws-users-list Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] What is the differents between 32 and 64 bit Hi, First, it has been my experience that some programs work under 64-bit machines (despite them being 32-bit) though there may be some exceptions. You also asked what the difference was. Basically, it comes down to this: 1. 32-bit operating systems apparently (not just Windows) as this also applies to Linux and others, only can address up to 3GB of RAM. 64-bit is designed to harnis more than this. As for the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of JAWS, not much difference exists. You really won't notice. However, before migrating to the 64-bit version of JAWS, you should be aware that for whatever reason, sometimes JAWS scripts won't work properly. I.e. One time under pretty much every version of Winamp possible, I was using JAWS 64-bit. And when I used control-shift-T, and CTRL-Insert-T, JAWS reported 0 minutes 0 seconds, regardless of track length, or elapsed time. I do not know if this has been resolved with the latest update under 64-bit. But this has been a problem for a while now, and I am not happy about it. I hope that Freedom Scientific's developers are actually working on that as a fix for a future update. Thanks, and if anyone has more information to answer Pattie's questions, feel free to add on from where I've left off. Thanks.
