That is exactly why I got the Windows 8 and Windoweyes. I figured both of
these programs should work together since they are both made by Windows or
Microsoft or whatever. I wanted them to be able to play together. I feel
we are all just a ping pong ball with our abilities and JAWS is out for
the upgrade money. The new windows comes out and JAWS don't work well, so
they need to fix the JAWS and of course make a new version and charge us for
the upgrade. Apple is including their screen reading program with their
computer and devises and upgrades don't cost you what JAS does. So if I can
get Windoweyes for free and pay $95 per year to get the newest edition of
Microsoft Office [which I use constantly], then I want to add the knowledge
of learning these programs and move forward.
Thank God I have folks out there like you that will lend a helping hand.
Thank God I have my windows 7 so I can use my desktop too.
Once I move forward and learn this I will help others.
NFB Krafters Division - Krafters Korner is a place to learn, teach and
share our know how with others.
Let me ask you this? If you did not have a computer and know how to use
it, how would you learn and share your crafting skills and ideas?

Joyce,
Have to tell you what Microsoft told me when I had to start with new
computer. They were willing to give me and reinstall Window 7 for me, and I
have the 7 program, brand new they gave me because I complainted so badly,
but here is what they told me. Microsoft will Never go back only forward,
you will never see 7 again just like XP, it is Gone. You must go forward
not
back, yes it is difficult but if you do not progress you will get so far
behind you will never be able to handle what comes next. Struggle and learn
8 go forward and not back. It is hard but I am using 8.1 and learn a little
more each day. I only pass on what appears to be true I started learning
with Windows 95 then Vista, XP, I loved 7 but have moved forward, they will
be changing that soon because of the problems and they are so willing to
help the disabled hang in you get it.

I thought there was an upgrade or new version out of Windows 8 that had the
Windows 7 choice of using. Not sure and I haven't sat on the new laptop
today yet to see what my fingers can find.

Just as an aside, Windows 8 is terrible visually, too! My sister just paid
to have her new laptop downgraded to Windows 7 because she couldn't get
her
school work done because she couldn't get to things she needed.

PS We should probably move this topic off-list now. For new people, we
generally only have a couple of posts like this before taking it off-list,
but our fearless leader needs immediate help to get her back up and
running
so the things you love about Krafters Korner stay in motion.
