Yeah, that's a cracked version of Jaws alright. If you have to copy and paste files into the install directory then they are using a pirated copy they got from somewhere.

As far as running NVDA side by side with another screen reader, be it Jaws or Window-eyes, you can do that. Just don't start them at the same time or it will be "Crash City Here We Come." I've got Window-Eyes 7.5 NVDA, and the Jaws 13 demo  on the same system and it works fine. I just unload one and then use a hot key to start another screen reader when I want to switch screen readers. Although, I use NVDA 99% of the time myself.

Hi,
Well, I had the reverse problem. I had actually downgraded to an earlier version of Firefox because I was told it would work better with Jaws. Wouldn't you know, Web Vissum refused to work after that. I've had no problem with it since going back to 9, although I will say it's very sluggish at times. I'd be willing to bet it's a jaws issue, and while I do have NVDA on this machine, I hardly ever use it. I don't really know why, old habits die hard I guess.
As for the Youtube problem, I'm wondering if it actually goes beyond Firefox. I have a friend who's still running xp, and Jaws 12, and he can't get Youtube to work in IE or Firefox. He says his computer freezes whenever he tries to play a video. I even gave him the website for the Accessible Youtube to try, and he said it didn't work. He then updated his flash player and still no go. Does anybody know what that could be about?
One more thing, which is off topic, but why was that other Firefox topic deleted? I don't remember there being anything offensive about it, or maybe I just missed it.

Well, as I said in the topic that got deleted, there are ways to fix that. I'll reiterate.
Unless you plan to use Firefox for everything, it's a good idea to disable flash plugins. These tend to make Firefox crash often. Second, if you do encounter a problem where Firefox freezes, but the dreaded Mozilla Crash Reporter hasn't reared its ugly head yet, see if you can go into your task manager and find PlugInContainer.exe. End the process, and you should be good to go.

Sid, that's why open source technologies like the Linux OS and free open source screen readers like NVDA for Windows are having so much success over seas. Here in the United States its difficult but not impossible to pay for Windows, Jaws, Openbook, and all the other expensive software apps that are very common in the accessibility market. However, in India where the average person makes less than even the poorest American citizen it goes from difficult to nearly impossible to afford accessibility software. That's why alternative operating systems like Linux have a far greater user base in other countries, and free open source screen readers like NVDA is rapidly replacing Jaws as the screen reader of choice for blind computer users. The prohibitive cost of commercial accessible software simply costs too much to own.

Sid, the difference here is one is illegal and the other is not. If you use  a cracked version of Jaws you are breaking the laws of your country as well as are in violation of international copyright law as well. Why do that and run the risk of being fined or thrown in jail when you can get a different product like NVDA that is free and has similar functionality and features?

I guess it is an issue of ethics more than anything else. Even if you don't get caught pirating software from an ethical standpoint it is still theft. Unless you are telling me theft is perfectly legal in India, that your family and friends feel theft is ethical, then that's a good reason to not accept a cracked version of Jaws.

Its exactly situations like yours that people are now developing free and low-cost access solutions like NVDA. People who have the money to afford Jaws will continue to pay for it, but for people who can't there is an equal product that costs less and has a more liberal license attached. Its no longer possible to pirate Jaws and try and claim you can not afford a good  screen reader when cheaper alternatives do exist.
