David,

Interesting. So you are telling us that you clicked on a link to install JFW 
12.0.1158 and the install crashed?

Can you be more exacting with what version you were actually instructed to 
install?

What version of JAWS were you using before you attempted the install?

What steps did you have to take to remove that aborted installation?

What version of JAWS are you back to using?

  Hi Rick and all,

  I received an e mail from FS yesterday asking me to download from a link they 
provided for the latest upgrade to jfw 12 plus..

  I did so and it totally screwed up my computer trying to use the upgrade.

  FS is aware of this problem and they said if you want to upgrade use their 
web site instead of the link in their e mail.

  I had to reinstall jaws and that fixed the issue.

  I have been watching my JAWS 12 check for updates by way of the help menu. 
and so for it has not come up.  
  I am using JAWS version 12.5.25 on my Windows 7 Home Premium machine.  It 
seems to work pretty well.
  This version is what is listed on About JAWS.
   
  Perhaps the update happened automatically?
  Or should I say, is this the most recent version?
   
  Thanks.
  Rik
