[gui-talk] How to set up a new laptop with Jaws?

[Scott Spaulding]

I'm using Windows 7. If you have some vision, then you can use the magnifier
to get things going. It's the best I've ever seen in Windows. As for JFW,
you may have problems getting it authorized. I've ran into multiple problems
getting mine authorized on my Windows 7 computers.I've even had to have my
authorizations reset a couple times & I'm s still not authorized correctly
yet, but I just use it in 40 minute mode for now.

I'm pretty sure I'll buy a laptop Saturday, and it'll probably run under 
Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. So far, so good.

I've got a sighted friend who's an I T professional taking me shopping and 
helping me find the right machine with the most agreeable keyboard.

But I don't know what to do with it once I get it home. Now, I think my 
friend will set me up with a wireless network gizmo of some sort so that, 
within my apartment, I can use my same ISP for Web and email, as long as my 
desktop is turned on.

and I'm sure he'll help me copy appropriate data files from my desktop to my

laptop. I expect I should download my IE 8 (he'll copy my Favorites over, 
I'm sure) and an email client, and I'll probably bite the ribbon bullet and 
get word 2007 on the laptop and just teach myself how to use it. I 
understand it can be done. I'm still using Word 2000 on my old desktop, for 
eccentric reasons.

Okay, so blah blah blah if that was tedious or confusing, sorry. But here's 
my question: Although my SMA is good for Jaws 11, I haven't downloaded and 
installed it yet, and am still using Jaws 10x. That itself is neither here 
nor there. But I'll definitely want to download and install Jaws 11 onto the

new laptop, then probably onto the desktop as well, and then learn the new 
version as we all have to do.

But how am I to do this? Without jaws on the laptop, it's useless to me. 
Must I ask my friend to go to FS/Jaws Central and download and install Jaws 
11 latest update for me, so that I can begin to do anything at all on the 
new computer? And let's say we did that; well, assuming I have several ILM 
keys to start with, will FS prevent me from downloading and installing Jaws 
11 on my desktop, as well?

Thanks to anyone who's patient enough to read through this post carefully 
and respond helpfully. I'm all ears.
Joel
