[nabs-l] JAWS question, please help

Sat Sep 24 21:01:39 UTC 2011

I absolutely refuse to go to windows 7. I will stay with XP for as long as I
possibily can. Yes you can say I am an old timer in that regard. I don't
have much confidence in Microsoft. For example look at Vista, and how much
of a screw up that was. What is to say that 7 is any better. Nope, not
upgrading. 

Okay I have digressed, back to the original question. So if it is suppose to
work, then why is mine not.

IE 8 should work with XP so Marsha shouldn't have a problem. As versions 
advance, they often do not work  work with old software.
Guess everyone needs to get rid of xp and go to windows 7.

Hi chriss,

No. sadly, Microsoft  did not make internet explorer 9 to work with windows
xp, and it is not supported for that operating system. Just like you've been
hearing about all those trends now that certain programs or functions will
not work with XP just because XP is not as new and updated as windows 7 and
even windows vista. E.G. windows media player 12.0 is also not supported by
windows xp, and some other new applications designed to work with newer
systems. Did you even hear that Microsoft is dropping support for windows xp
in 2014?

Hi Marsha and everyone,

I have IE 9 on Windows 7, but does it work on XP? I'm not sure.
Humberto, it sounds like version 8 was working for her before now, so
it should be compatible with XP.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight. The real
problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that exists. If
a blind person has the proper training and opportunity, blindness can
be reduced to a mere physical nuissence." -- Kenneth Jernigan
