Hi Mark,
Interesting and thank you for shedding some light on this as I sometimes come across problems you've just mentioned. 
Thanks again,
Vicki.

HI,

This kind of links in to a message that I think was on this list the
other day; If the update baloon thing doesn't always appear in the
system tray, it may be that the system tray properties are set to
'hide inactive icons'. Broadly speaking I guess this is a setting you
probably want for most things; on my PC for example this setting when
checked means I've not constantly got the message saying a 'cable is
unplugged' regarding the local area network; as the PC is normally*
connected via wireless to our network I don't necessarily want the
icon there all the time telling me what I already know visa the PC not
being hard wired into the LAN.
Of course I'm now trying to remember where to access this setting; I
think there is a show all type feature in contorl pannel/task bar and
start menu, though this may only apply to the task bar menu. Perhaps
someone else on this list can remember where this setting is, but
somewhere is a setting to individually change the 'hide when inactive'
setting for each individual running task; so for instance I have the
'hide when inactive' unchecked for JAWS,  AVD, my wireless adaptor and
a few other things which I find handy to have displayed all the time
in the systme tray, as I say I can't remember where this setting is
located now and I've just tried looking with no success thus far....
I'll have another look. The reason I mention this of course, is that
if set to 'hide when inactive' then I guess the update icon may
disappear from the system tray once its been sitting there unactivated
for a while...

Hello Vicki,
It's ok to post further suggestions in reply to answers. It gives the enquirer some choice, and is what the list is for, so please feel free to

Hope this is reassuring.

Hello Everyone,
It's Vicki here again.
I've now become a new member and thought I would write about the
baloon issue and say that I sometimes can't find the actual baloon
message in the system tray which is strange.
Hope you don't mindme posting a reply to your suggestion Mark!!!
Best wishes to all,
Vicki.

Hi,

I'm sure there is another way to do this now with JAWS 9 (and
possibley earlier versions too), but the easiest way I find is to do
insert plus F11 to bring up the system tray icons, and then select it from the list (It'll useually I think be at the top as it will be the 
most recent thing to have occured/started running), then do the tab
once hit enter and it will either start installing or bring up a
dialogue with options regarding the update and its installation.

Hi all,

I'm getting the "Pop" sound, which I assume is the balloon, witha
message
saying: "Updates are reayd for your computer. Click here to
install".  How
do I do this with Jaws, before the balloon disappears?  I assume
it's a good
idea to take these updates when the system notifies you.

Thanks in advance,
Clive
