[Blindtlk] One thing I'm tired of

Sun Aug 26 04:29:15 UTC 2012

I'm not going that direction because too many of the programs I use run best
on Windows. But then I don't do Desktop Publishing or music editing.

    Yeah. I didn't learn that until after the problems began.

I started with Vista, then the laptop's mother board fried. I had to buy a
new laptop, but Windows 7 was all you could find. When I tried loading the
program, it wouldn't complete and say something like "this is an invalid
platform. I was confused and didn't know what that meant. I called FS, they
told me to just download the 64 byte version and it will work. So, that's
what I'm running on now.

I would like to know what some of you computer tech guys think of macs and
the voice over. Is it better than windows OS and JAWS? Would it be smart to
go in that direction? How well does it work?

JAWS 10 was never designed to work with Windows 7.  This could be causing
some of your problems.

Occasionally JAWS will say, "update ready to be installed"
