Seems to me that Microsoft has implemented some very positive changes in Narrator, and that it will be significantly more useful in Windows 8 than it has been in the past. Still, however, I think it will remain another tool to help blind users setup their computers, install their screen reader of

Hello all, What would happen if I were to attempt to use JAWS 13.0.718 with the Windows 8 Consumer Preview? Would JAWS simply fail to install, run, and work properly? Or, is there some functionality that an experienced JAWS user might be able to tame and work through? All the best, Grant For

Hi Grant: There's a good and bad side to this. If you upgrade, from Windows seven to eight, with Jaws already on, it will still work, just it will yell at you because of not having a mirror display driver installed. If you do a clean install however, Jaws will not, install at all on Windows

Ah, naturally. I totally forgot about the mirror driver needing to be changed. So, that means there will be no JAWS cursor support, correct? Thanks, Grant On 03/28/2012, Siobhan littlesailorg...@comcast.net wrote: Hi Grant: There's a good and bad side to this. If you upgrade, from Windows

The latest version of JAWS 13 was released well before the consumer preview came out, so I certainly wouldn't have expected full or even partial support to have been implemented

You might want to rethink that thought after hearing this about narrator. If not fixed i doubt if it will even help if jaws happens to crash. From: John J Herzog [mailto:johnjher...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, March 25, 2012 1:12 AM Subject: windows 8 narrator, provides hype and not hope Hello
