Julian and all, please, please don't download and install this false patch. Luckily it hasn't done anything nasty to my Vista laptop, but on some people's computers it introduced trojans that were hard to remove short of doing a system restore apparently. Freedom Scientific never send e-mails with links containing where to obtain JAWS updates; the check for updates feature is used for that. Also, Freedom Scientific would never post files to Sendspace. Anyway the patch has been pulled and you can no longer get it. Even I deleted it from my computer so you can't have it off me at least <smiles>. Hope that helps.

I did not cover this thread totally. I got the patch, or space saver, or what ever that was. My confusion comes from, who is this from? Why would freedom scientific send me something having to do with downloading files?so, can anyone tell me, who the file is from, weather its safe to install, or if anyone has?lastly, I guess I am wondering whom gave permission to this person to add the file to our list to send us?thanks Julian----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary King" <w4wkz@xxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2007 6:55 PM Subject: Re: JAWS patch Blake,You probably wouldn't have been laughing out loud if you had downloaded a supposed audio editor a while back that was advertised on some email lists as being developed to be speech friendly for the blind.
