UPDATE, update and sometimes update

I have had many past students and people who just found me along the way
ask why their Jaws does not work well with the Internet any more. As
soon as I ask them what version of JAWS they are using, I have my
answer. <br>
<br>
In general, when you update the Internet, you need to update your Jaws.
Example, when JAWS 9 was out, it ran great with Internet explorer 7
(IE7), but then IE8 came out and if you did not update to JAWS 10 you
would have problems. JAWS 11 worked even better with IE8 and JAWS 12
works great. So, if you would have purchased the upgrades when your
purchased JAWS 10, you would be a happy camper because the upgrade fee
would have been a lot cheaper than buying 3 whole new licenses.<br>
<br>
Exceptions to the rule. However, when IE9 came out, JAWS 12 did not work
well with it. IE9 needed a lot of work and JAWS worked on its updates
also to make these 2 work together. Now it works well...but that took
months.<br>
<br>
In general, if your JAWS is working well with what you have, don't be
anxious to update quickly. Let the companies work out the bugs in their
hardware and software. Talk to people around you about their experiences
and when you get the green light, update your JAWS and Internet
together. And if you are having problems with your JAWS, it is most
likely too old. <div> </div><div><span style="FONT-FAMILY:'Brush Script MT';COLOR:black;FONT-SIZE:18pt;"><font color="#4040ff"> Denise </font></span></div><div><span style="FONT-FAMILY:'Brush Script MT';COLOR:black;FONT-SIZE:18pt;"></span> </div><div>Denise M.
