Jaws 11 update

Dear Dave,
This is very good advice, and I shall save your message in the appropriate 
folder Dave.

However, in this case, as it seems the updates are related to mostly Braille, 
as some one was so kind to post to the list, I elected to pass on installing 
this update.

Things are working fine with my JAWS finally, and I just as well not touch 
anything at all right now, having suffered more than a month trying to get my 
computer back to the way it was, which took me 3 years to set up with all the 
programs and such!

Thanks Dave, I really appreciate you posting to this list!
And Mike, and all actually, I get much assistance, which I am grateful for!

With Best Regards,

  Mike and Alan:

  I always save a file that I am downloading from the internet, rather than 
using the Open or, Run options.  Especially if the web site has a long-winded 
and complicated way of getting to the download link.

  By saving the file, it saves you the annoying aggravation of going back to 
the web site to repeat the Open or, Run options to download and install a 
program, because, obviously, the program is now saved on your computer.

  An example of this, was when I went to the UK in August, a friend installed a 
driver for a wireless card for my laptop that someone had generously given me.  
Well, you guessed it, he used the Run option to install the driver.  This was 
not of any use to me!  Because, about a month later, the driver suddenly 
stopped working.  And because I did not have a copy of the installation file on 
my computer for the wireless card driver, I have been trying to access the web 
site, which of course, is not that accessible, to attempt to download the 
driver installation file myself.

  Now, of course, if my friend had done what I asked him to do, that is, use 
the Save option from the download dialog in Internet Explorer to save a copy of 
the driver installation file to my computer, all I would have needed to do 
would have been to reinstall the software for the wireless card.  The net 
result is, I would now be using the wireless card.  I could have made good use 
of that card during my recent visit to the UK.

  But, because my friend used the Run option in Internet Explorer's download 
dialog box and, because I have not been able to download the installation 
driver file from the not so accessible web site, instead, the card is lying on 
my desk, not being used, thinking it is on a long holiday.

  Sincerely:

  Dave Durber

    Hi Alan;

    1. Press enter on the link for your operating system.
    2. Tab to " Run " and press enter.
    3. Jaws will talk to you while downloading / installing & you should get an 
install button that when you hear " Install " you will press enter on this 
button.  You can read this button with your say line keystroke, Insert / Jaws 
key + up arrow.
    4. Then you will get a finish button that you press enter on.  Personally, 
I reboot the computer after 1 of these updates.

    Hope this helps.  Take care.
    Mike

      Dear Mike,
      I hate to sound ignorant, but is  it hard to install an update like this, 
I mean, do you download it and then is it self extracting when you install it 
or how exactly does it work when you hit on one of these links.

      Thanks for any bit of information about all this Mike.
