Hi Troy, If you're running XP, & try to install J16 or later 32 bit on an XP system this is the message you'll get:
C:\Downloads\J16.0.4468enu-x86.exe is not a valid Win32 application. Okay button When Jaws reported, C:\Downloads\J16.0.4468enu-x86.exe, this only meant that I was running the installer from the downloads folder on my XP computer. Take care.

I remember when I went from windows xp to windows 7 I had to update my jaws by about 3 versions because I hadn't been keeping my SMA's up not knowing that I'd eventually want to go to windows 7, and I remember having some problems using I think it was jaws 11 in windows 7 but I don't remember what those problems were now. I'm just wondering that since this is a fifth grade student who is just learning how to use jaws if jaws 16 might work for her even if her computer is running xp since all she'll likely be doing is simple reading.
