Albert:

I'm just curious.  When you installed JAWS on the 64 bit machine, just how 
much memory was available to you?  With JAWS 11, 64 bit machines really need 
4  GB RAM.  You really are fine with a 32 BIT machine running Windows 7. 
Memory is gold in the windows environment.  Thank you.

John O'Rourke
