Might want to delete one of the posts since you double posted the same thing.

Not sure how Jaws 6 and 7 are, but I know the demo of Jaws 5 actually worked far faster on my PC then my version of 4.51.

As for the other companies, I'm sure they'll be working on Vista support too. It would be silly not to. It naturally won't be finalised yet, but then neither is Vista so it can't be.

And Freedom Scientific, I don't know what problems are they having so they still are not able to release new version of JAWS. But their workers already have hands on 8.0. It is already released for them,of course.

It's definitly not true that JAWS doesn't support Vista. Only what they need to do is remove problems with video intercept and make JAWS to work better with user interface in Vista, such as in Windows Explorer, and fix problems with JAWS and UAC. All other is supported and works fine with JAWS in Vista, I noticed. I can use it as my primary OS, and I use it already on my Laptop in a single-boot situation.

And of course, I will tell you what I've discovered in pre-rtm build 5840 after I burn it and install it. Since I have ADSL Internet Connection, all builds from 5308 up to 5840 I have are downloaded. And I think final build of Vista could be 5920, 5970, or something like that. I'm sure Microsoft will not include new Vista sound theme until final release in January 30th, 2007. I still cannot install Vista on my Desktop, since I still get a Blue Screen (immediately or later during the installation), and that's not all! Vista on my Desktop booted more than two minutes. That's nothing more than catastrophical. It will not be good if I will not be able to install final version on my Desktop, just Laptop. I already sent my critics to Microsoft, and probably I'm not only one with this problem. Upgrade Adviser told me that my PC is compatible, and even my NVidia card supports WDDM, but installation crashes even if I try to copy DVD contents on a Hard Drive and try to install on that way. What's wrong with my Desktop, I really don't know!

Theres a place to download vista? Well no one told me that...Where can you get it?

I severely doubt FS are lieing.

I suspect they mean Jaws 7.10 does not support Vista to their satisfaction. The support is not complete due to issues like the video intercept. Try reading between the lines a little.

Hi
What's the ftp website for freedomscientific?
Thanks.
Game Man

yep. The last time I checked that folder (about 2 weeks ago), they were up to 347.

My only problem with Vista it's slowness. I have a 1.8 t2500 core duo laptop (and my mom said that she will not buy me another  laptop for 4 years).You see, for soome reason my laptops keep breaking, my toshiba satelite a45's motherboard smoked out about 4 months ago for no reason. I had that laptop for 1 year only. And before that I had a toshiba Satelite 1115, which in the end the cd drive's metal protection (the plattor that the disks spin on) got bent, which in turn ruined all my cds. +, after 1 or 2 years, the hard-drive of that machine got like 5 gb of bad sectors. My a45 laptop had only about 3 gb of bad sectors in the end, which wasn't too bad. It broke right after I brought a new hd for it (when I finished 8th grade last year). So now I have a thinkpad t60 with 4 years of warranty on it.

But, getting back to my point:  So Vista should be fast, but no, it takes 1 minute to load wen I upgrade, and 1.5 minutes if I custom install. And this is like a state,of-the art laptop! It even says "vista ready" on the cover.

Hrvoje and any other vista users, if you have any suggestions of making Vista faster, that would be greatly appreciated.  The lag time on Vista is also twice as long as in xp. Sheesh. i never tried turning sidebar off, could this be the culpret?

also, windows calendar and contats will need to be made compatible with JAWS, they just don't work. Sidebar I don't think will be useful for the blind. Maybe the feed part would be, but with the sidebar in the way you cannot cycle between taskbar and start button, etc. You would always get into the web paine of sidebar. Annoying, if you ask me.

hi,

I thought Vista won't run on 512 mb. +, if you're video ram is not dedccated (meaning that a seperate ram stick is used for the display), you technicly only have: 504 mb of ram with 32 mb video memory, 496 mb with 64 mb of video ram, and 482 mb with 128 mb graphics ram. This laptop does have an extra 256 mb ram, so I have 1.2 gb ram, but I only see 1 gb of that.

I'm trying to download pre-RTM build of Vista, but it stops at 99.4%, so I can't download it. This build has probably new Vista sounds. If not, we will wait until November (final RTM) or January (Final Public).
And, I have 512 MB of RAM on my Laptop, but it shows 503. However, Vista can install. On my Desktop I also have 512, but it shows just 448, and also shows the line "Physical address extension". Probably I can't install Vista because of it, but Upgrade Adviser told me: "Your computer can run Windows Vista". But Upgrade Adviser also told me that Windows Vista Business is best edition for my computer. Stupid! I am sure that I will not use business version on my Home PC.

hi, can you please send me the sounds  to [email protected] . 1 mb is not a lot. also, can you tell me if they are the same as in the Vista transformation pack? They did post a fake sound scheme that I got for xp about 2 months ago.

So everybody think these sounds are fake because they're not created by Microsoft? I think they're not fake, especially if any of the Microsoft's known beta-testers created them. And Microsoft probably told people that these sounds are fake to avoid installing new sounds until final release. They probably wanted for these sounds to be final surprise. However, if these are fake, I'll use them on XP, because they sound much better then original XP sounds.

I'm downloading pre-rtm build for fourth time already, since I had problems with some Torrent trackers. I will tell you what I discovered after I install it.
