Hi Andy,

That certainly is a possibility.  I have not tried it with SA To Go, but I
do it often with System Access itself.  SA and NVDA and indeed Thunder,
don't rely on video hooks, so it is easy to update your video drivers with
these screen readers.  From what I have seen though, I wouldn't attempt it
with Thunder, it is just too darned slow.

All the best

Steve

But Steve, how is one cautious? Either I do it or I don't, and either it
will work or it won't.

You have now suggested using SaToGo; I haven't used this programme, but if I
understand correctly, it isn't a downloadable programme, but one that runs
when connected to the internet, is that right? And if so, do I connect to
SaToGo, and then use it to update my drivers instead of JFW?

Thanks -

Andy

| Steve - does it matter which version of JFW is being used? I'm using 
6.2? -

|| Hi George,
||
|| This is incorrect.  With both Window-Eyes and JAWS, you can easily do it.
|| What happens is that on the reboot when the video drivers have been
| updated,
|| both of them will ask you to reboot while they update the video
| intercepts.
|| You are behind the times <Smile>.  In fact, I even tried it with Hal and
| it
|| works.

|| Hi Andy,
||
|| You don't need to uninstall the old ATI drivers, but I'd be a shade wary
|| about installing new video drivers without sighted help to hand. It will

| without
|| speech, and the necessity to re-install your screen reader.

||
|| Hi all -
||
|| I'm pasting my message from yesterday here again, as it got no responce,
| and
|| I'm sure there are people on this list that can help, so please do if you
|| can, it's always apreciated.
||
|| Start of message:
||
|| Hi all -
||
|| Ok, a scan of my PC tells me that certain drivers need updating, and I'm
|| trying to understand quite what to do, and what I need to download!
||
|| When I click on the link from driveragent.com to update the driver, the
| page
|| that comes up says:
||
|| "The following packages will provide display drivers and capture drivers
|| that can be used with various video capture programs."
||
|| And then it lists what is in the package, the first thing being the
| display
|| driver, is this all I'll need, or will I need the rest of the package 
that
|| includes things like 'catalyst control centre' or the 'WDM Integrated
|| Driver.'
||
|| Can I ask too, if I need to uninstall from 'add/remove'
|| within the control
|| panel, the existing ati drivers that these updates are to replace?
||
|| Thanks as ever -
||
|| Andy
