The update feature did not work for me either but I went directly to
the FS page and downloaded it without a problem.

Debbie, odd thing is that when I go to check for updates, I'm told I
am running the latest Jaws version. I tried twenty minutes ago in
fact. My understanding is that you are supposed to be able to download
and install the final release when checking for updates. But perhaps
not so I'll just go and download it from the freedom site. But again
knowing me I'll try again, and the install will work flawlessly.

Subject: Fw: JAWS 7.1 release is now posted
All,
Both the ILM release version and the Demo version of 7.1 are now
posted on the Web site. I have also included the list of Fixes from
the What's New page that went in between the final beta and final
release. Regards, Eric Damery
Fixes in the Final Release Version
The release version of JAWS 7.10 was made available on Thursday, June
21, 2006. The following issues were fixed between the last public beta
update and the final release version of JAWS:

announced when you use first letter navigation.
2. When using a language that reads from right to left, you can now
select text properly.
3. In previous versions, when you had detected SAPI 4 synthesizers and
then added a synthesizer using Installation Maintenance, JAWS removed
the detected SAPI 4 synthesizers from the Language menu. The issue
does not occur with version 7.10 and the new Synthesizer and Braille
Manager.

end of each check box in a list of check boxes while you are in Forms
Mode.
