So if the computer is running windows xp like I think it is and they've
installed Jaws 16 on it what problems might there be? 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.

Hi Troy,
Jaws 15 is the last version to work on XP.
HTH,

Tomorrow's another day, another way!
and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved!

Subject: [JAWS-Users] question about what version of windows works with
whatversion of Jaws
Hi All,
I will be going either tomorrow or next week to get Jaws set up and
working
on a computer for a student that I think is in the fifth grade. I'm doing
this to help out the student's teacher that teaches her braille etc, but
this teacher knows absolutely nothing about Jaws so she's depending on my
expertise, what little there is.
I think the computer that they've installed Jaws on is running windows xp,
but I won't know for sure until I get there and I know that there are only
certain versions of Jaws that works with each version of windows. Does
anybody know what versions of Jaws worked with windows xp, and am I right
in
assuming that if it's Jaws 16 or 17 that they've installed that it either
won't work at all or won't work well if the computer is running windows
xp?
I basically only know how to do what I do with jaws, and sometimes it's
even
trial and error for me on certain sites or if I install an unfamiliar
program, so I don't really feel that I'm the best person to do what I've
been asked to do especially with an extreme beginner like I believe this
student is, but I at least want to be as prepared as possible for whatever
may happen. In other words, if I get there and the computer is indeed
running windows xp and it's Jaws 16 or 17 that they've installed, if xp
won't work with those versions of Jaws I at least want to know that before
I
start.
