Gloria, your Jaws will work with your computer.  You don't normally have to
update when the company says to.  I ran an old Jaws for years on my Windows
98 computer.  Now I use Window Eyes and love it! Again I don't have to
update even going from system to system, opporating system it handled it
well, smile.  My husband is using a Zoomtext that is six years old.  

I have a friend using a Braille display that only runs with Jaws eight nine,
not sure.  She is still fine and doesn't need to upgrade for what she does. 

I often wondered as JAWS users update so much if the system just dies and
you have to upgrade.  I was told that was not true as it is the same back
when I ran Windows 98 with JAWS. 

There is a a couple of screen readers that you can pay for with monthly
payments. I know Window Eyes is one. Is it Saratech that is the other.
There is also a free one, but I don't know the name off the top of my head,
but it is like NVDA.
