Interference with Other Software
When testing IBM® SPSS® Modeler with screen readers, such as JAWS, our development team
discovered that the use of a Systems Management Server (SMS) within your organization may
interfere with JAWS’a bility to read Java-based applications, such as SPSS Modeler. Disabling
SMS will correct this situation. Visit the Microsoft website for more information on S MS.

Although IBM® SPSS® Modeler will work with all recent versions of JAWS, some versions may
have minor problems when used with Java-based systems. Visit the JAWSfor Windows website
