Re: Getting around Winamp Update freeze-out

Hi Mr. Grims Bee,

I'm sorry to say that each time this has happened to me, I've tried to use 
the tab key to find this control, which I think is what you mean by 
referring to using the virtual cursor,  and the tab key reveals no controls 
at all. In other words, though I might like to accept the invitation to 
install the update when this notice appears, I can't access the control that 
would do this. If you didn't mean the virtual cursor but the Jaws cursor, I 
have switched to that and looked around also, but not figured out a way to 
do this. If it pops up again, I may try the Jaws cursor to make sure. But as 
far as using the normal operation of tab key navigation that I think is 
what's meant by virtual cursor here, it's all blank to me. I can't access 
any control in that notice nor can I operate Winamp with the usual keyboard 
commands.

But the notice doesn't appear every time I launch Windamp, but only 
sporadically, as if by some program that randomizes the appearance of the 
notice. But next time it comes up, I'll try the Jaws cursor if that's what 
you meant to say.

Thanks.

Ok another thing you could do is use the virtual cursor and go click on the
download link.  It is there.

I was actually gonna ask the same thing but it looks like one of you beat me

to it! I have a sister who is also a JAWS user, and she has been getting
that Winamp update too. I'm going to forward this response to her.
