Hello, Has anyone loaded the new version 6.0? I am using Windows 2000 and I find the process of loading this new version getting worse for us without any...

Hi John, The first two issues really aren't any different with JAWS 6 than they were in the past. First, the auto-run feature has apparently been deactivated....
I have had problems helping clients install JAWS with the new CD authorization method. It pretty much sucks. If you don't have Internet available you have to...

Hi Phillip, If you know your client doesn't have any Internet access, FS enables you to plan ahead, creating a floppy that can provide the necessary...
Darrell, Thanks for the response. It seems that at least the second problem discussed is a Windows issue and not JAWS. I just better be careful to have sited...

Phillip, I totally agree. Does Freedom Scientific have that much of a problem with piracy that they must make registration so complicated? Thanks, JD John &...

Hi John, I have not required any sighted help to install JAWS for many, many years now, even on Windows NT 4 or 2000. There are two ways to work around the...
JD, Ever since Ted sold the company, this has now become a company more concerned with quantity than quality. The amount of releases over the past few years...
Darrell, But if there is no prior screen reader and you can log in, how do you reach set up on the CD if it does not auto start? Thanks, JD John & Annette...

Hi Rick, I am always intrigued when I hear complaints like this one. Where do you think the funding comes from to do all the R&D, pay the employees and do...
Hi John, You reach setup as previously explained. I'll explain it step by step below: 1. Press control-escape followed by r, or press windows+r to open the...
Hi Rick, FYI, I am not an FS employee, just a realist who understands how the world works. ... From: Rick Mladek To: jfw-employment@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Then Darryl, you should understand that since FS took over, each release has been nothing more than a correction of the problems plaguing the previous released...
My point was that the CD does NOT always work. Sometimes it comes up with a message that you have inserted the authorization CD and nothing more. even if you...

Darrell, With all due respect, for one who does this regularly, the procedure may be second nature. The rest of us who may install a upgrade once a year or...

Hi John, These aren't DOS instructions. I will say that FS should probably document this possible need in their installation training materials. Sadly, these...
Hi Rick, If the only issue is the need to learn something new, then I don't have a lot of sympathy these days. It also just isn't usually so difficult. Back...
Hi Darrell and others: I concur with you on this. I've been through it and planning ahead can certainly help. At some point, net access is necessary. But FS...

I guess it would help if everyone could read Braille also. It is not a skill that all folks non-sighted pursue these days especially when Diabetic...

Hi Phillip, A CD-ROM is provided both for those who can and cannot read Braille. This extra CD includes the authorization code, which becomes available to you...
Hi Rick et al: I am a blind user of Jaws. More often than not, I give away (volunteer) my assistance because many can't afford the price to pay me. But I would...

Hi Phillip: Yes, Braille is a valuable skill. I am aware of the fact that it is out of reach for some. You know how many psychiatrists it takes to change a...

There are many new text to speech programs available, Microsoft offers one on each new operating system software purchased. I've tried it, turning off JAWS...
Hi Rick, Can you perform web browsing, check your e-mail and write documents using Microsoft Word with advanced formatting, all using Microsoft Narrator? ...
We may not all be talking about the same version of JAWS or CD's included with the software but what is it you don't get when I say that THE CD REGISTRATION...
