I have nothing but trouble with that mirror display driver for jaws. I had 
that problem when I tried windows vista 64 bit, and windows 7, all flavors 
but not with vista 32 bit or anything else. It's constant headaches which is 
why I never use the laptop I got a couple months ago even after the OS 
change and it may very well go back up for sale.
