Did you say window eyes is made by Microsoft? Did they take it over from 
GW-Micro?  That's a new one on me.
Thought I'd ask.
Happy computing.

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.
