Kathy,
Well, if you mean the Standard Jaws the home version, then it will work with
Win 7 Home Premium. You need the Pro version of Jaws to work with Win 7
Professional or Ultimate.
As far as 32 or 64-bit versions, you will need to download the 64-bit
version from the internet, or if you have a Jaws 11 or higher DVD, it will
recognize whether you have the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the operating
system and install the correct version of Jaws automatically.
In most cases, 32-bit programs will work on a 64-bit system, they are
installed in the Programs86 folder. However, since screen readers are so
intertwined and married to the operating system, both Win-Eyes and Jaws
require that you run the appropriate version with the operating system, i.e.
32-bit Jaws with a 32-bit OS or 64-bit Jaws with a 64-bit OS.
Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] in the market for a new laptop
Good morning,
I am using the latest Jjaws. Different are telling me to go with the 64
bit
laptops, that 32 are fading out. Will the standard jaws work with the 64
bit
laptops. What is the difference between 32 or 64 bit units.
Kathy
