Thanks Jose, where will I find the documentation about this patch? I've been
searching the Jaws support site and haven't found anything yet.

Hi Steve.
The direct link to the patch is
ftp://ftp.freedomscientific.com/users/hj/private/WebFiles/JAWS/j451131patch.exe.
However if you're  find problems  with jaws 5, I'm not sure if the patch
could be helpful.
