Hailley, I am currently using XP Professional at both home and work. I am going to check into exactly which operating system is on this proposed laptop.
Have you had any problems with XP Media and JAWS? -----Original Message----- From: jaws-users@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of one foxy lady Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2006 9:00 PM To: jaws-users@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [jaws-users] New laptop compatibility with JAWS Well I tried to have Comp-USA to remove xp media and install xp home but it wouldn't work so had no choice but to go with xp media myself.. Apparently the system I purchased which is a HP Pavillion desktop already came with that installed on it and at first they thought they could remove it and install the xp home but it posed some problems..
