Hi Ray,

it's not a problem at all anymore if you just install the latest Jaws 
update. You may have missed that news.

Subject: Developing Work-Around for JAWS and AVG, Have a Question


Hello All:

I'm trying to write a .bat file that will:
1) kill JAWS.
2) Load the AVG 8 User Interface.
3) re-load JFW.

This would be something I or any other user interested could use to deal
with the problem of AVG 8 not starting when JAWS is running and you
click or press enter on it from the desktop.

I have discovered a program called JFWKill.exe which shuts down JFW.
Here's my problem.  Is there a way in a .bat file to tell which version
of JAWS a user is running?  If, for example I could identify that
someone is running JAWS 8.0, I could direct my batch file to run:
C:\program files\freedom scientific\runtime jaws\8.0\JFWKill.exe.

So, if there is a way to identify and capture which version of JAWS is
being run, I'd like to know about it.

Thanks,
