JAWS for Windows 4.5 Release Download

Below is a link to download JAWS for Windows 4.5 Release. Before downloading you should read the following information regarding installation concerns.

  • IMPORTANT! If you had previously installed a JAWS 4.5 Public Beta, we request that you uninstall this version before installing the new Release. You should do the uninstall by going through: Start Menu, Programs, JAWS450. Tools, Uninstall JAWS. If you are asked, about leaving or removing shared components, you should choose leave so that your earlier version of JAWS will still work after you finish the uninstall. Once this is complete, you can proceed with the install of JAWS 4.5.
  • If you have installed a previous JAWS 4.5 Beta version, it will time out on or before September 30, 2002. You will need to update to a new version of JAWS 4.5 to continue beyond that date.

  • JAWS 4.5 will install by default into its own folder, c:\JAWS450, and will not interfere with other versions of JAWS on your system.

  • Freedom Scientific is working closely with other Access Technology Vendors and Microsoft in order to insure installation compatibility in Windows NT 4, W2K and XP. This work and the subsequent testing has not yet been completed and and therefore this work has not been included in any of the major products released at the time of this posting. Because of this, we do not recommend installing multiple screen readers and magnification products from different vendors, especially with Beta Software on your computer operating systems including NT4, W2K, and XP. Previous versions of JAWS or MAGic magnification software should not cause any issues with this Release of JAWS 4.5.. If you are installing in Windows 95, 98, or ME, you should not have any installation conflicts with other products.
  • If installing to Windows NT4, W2K, or XP, administrative rights are required for installation only.
