Ok well was trying to install Partition magic is why was wanting to use this mode since it's not compatible with Win 7 or even Win vista; but, wasn't able to install the program.
So do I need to go into windows xp mode first then run the program from the setup.exe or install file of Partition magic to make it work? I was able to view the win xp mode screen when first clicked on the icon until changed the display option think it was and then had no speech. So guess this mode isn't going to be compatible with any screen readers? Will check out the help info too to see what can do. Many thanks for your tips and or suggestions. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf of Brian Lee Sent: Sunday, July 18, 2010 12:13 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws with Windows XP mode in Windows 7 Hello Don, Although JAWS might not work too well in XP mode of Windows 7, the Windows 7 Compatibility wizard might take care of older programs that won't Normally work in Windows 7. If you type "run programs made for earlier Versions of Windows" (without the quotes" in the start menu search box you can start the compatibility wizard. Chances are good that if you just type "run programs" that the first choice in the results will be for starting the wizard. Press enter on the choice. Tab to the "next" button and press enter. You might need to wait a few seconds for the list to populate. One of the choices in the list will be for "not listed." If you use that choice you will then be able to browse for the program. I have used the compatibility wizard for a reading program that was bundled with other software that worked in Windows 7. The bundled reading program didn't work in Windows 7, but when choosing to use settings for XP SP3 with the compatibility wizard the program worked well. An alternative to using the compatibility wizard is to modify the properties of the program's shortcut. Use Alt+enter key on the shortcut icon and then use CTRL+tab to move to the compatibility page of the dialog box. You can choose to run in 256 colors, 640 x 480 resolution, and you can pick an earlier operating system with which the program was compatible. You can also disable display scaling on high DPI. There is also a button to run the same settings for all users and a checkbox for running the program as an administrator. You will have to respond to a UAC prompt every time you run the program. If you have some vision and if older programs give fuzzy results then go into the properties of the program, click compatibility tab, and then select "disable display scaling on high DPI settings." Take care.

If so are there any special settings needed in order to successfully use Jaws in the Windows XP compatible mode in Windows 7? Thanks.
