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.

There actually is a way to stop this, but you have to hunt for it with persistence. Open Winamp and when that update window appears, close it with control plus f4, that is if you have Jaws. Now press control P to open the preferences. up or down arrow to find the general purpose list. Now tab, and keep tabbing till you come to something like "check for update" or for new versions. Uncheck this. There's no okay button, so just escape out of the preferences. Now this nuisance should be banished. At least it has so far for me.Hope it works for you Lois Goodine. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.comJFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxTo unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfwIf you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
