Interferenc
e with Other Software
When test ing IBM® SPSS® Modeler with scr een readers, such as JAWS, our development team
discovered that the use of a Systems Manageme nt Server (SMS) within y our organization may
interfere with JAWS’ ability to read Java-based ap plications, such as SPSS Modeler. Disabling
SMS will correct this situatio n. Visit the Microsoft website for more information on SMS.

Different versions of JAWS provide varying levels of support for Java-based so f tw are applications.
Although I
BM® SPS S® Modeler will work with all recent versions of JAWS, some versions may
have minor problems when used with Java-based systems. Visit the JAWS for Windows website
