Hallo List
I am using Jaws 8 I.e 7 xp Home K11 and Lunar 6 I think this morning
just as I was turning off my desktop it said download and I must have
interrupted it. I then put on my laptop, nothing happened for a while, as I
was leaving room, I heard it saying 5 per cent 10 per cent . so came back in
a few moments it had completed the download. now it was not Jaws. I am sure
of that, it is nothing to do with my Ocr. so how do I find out just what it
was?
I have Windows set to Updates automatically. but looking in control panel
or my computer I cannot tell what it can be saw a service Pack 3 mentioned
as not having activated but when I tried downloaded after a long natter
about Licence agreement, it then told me I already had it. I am hoping
something similar happened to one or two of you or you can tell me how to
find the latest download or patch to come sailing in,no warning at all
