Firstly, where on Yahoo was this information?
Secondly, when I attempt to open this link I get a "Cannot find server"
message.

This information about the JFW 4.51.331 patch is entirely accurate. It's
very much worth your while to download this patch if you're not planning to
upgrade your JFW.

Hi All,
I'm not sure this information are correct. I found them on Yahoo. I think
that you may find them useful: The following information from Eric Damery
will clarify what issues the patch for Jaws 4.51 addressed. This information
will be posted to the Freedom Scientific website at a later time, hopefully
later this week. During the development of JAWS 5.0, we solved many problems
that have been in JAWS since 4.51 and even earlier in some cases. While I
wish we could always add fixes back into earlier versions, it is not so
simple in most cases so we don't often get to post fixes for versions of
software that were released 8 to 10 months earlier. With the release of JAWS
5.0, we have decided to go back and make several fixes to 4.51 version.
These problems were significant enough issues, that we did not want our 4.51
customers feeling that they had to upgrade to get these fixes. The fixes
provided, and the link for the patch are outlined below. Regards, Eric
Damery Vice President Product Management Software Freedom Scientific, Inc.
Note that you should have JAWS 4.51.119 already installed before executing
the self extracting installer of the patch. That patch can be found at:
ftp://ftp.freedomscientific.com/users/hj/private/beta/JAWS451131Patch.exe
Fixes:
1. There were certain web pages that when accessed with JAWS 4.51, could
cause your JAWS Screen Reader to be unloaded without any explanation. This
has been resolved for 5.0 and is included in the patch for 4.51. 2. There
were reports from many users that JAWS would become sluggish after a period
of time and cause you to have to reboot your system in order to continue
using it. This happened most often in Windows XP and especially if you were
using Internet Explorer in Windows XP. Note that it did not happen on all
systems. This is solved for 5.0 and included in the patch for 4.51. 3. There
were many reports of users pressing up or down arrow to navigate through a
document in Word or maybe an email message and JAWS would say blank or maybe
read the previous line. If you were reading with a Braille Display or did a
say line at that point, you would find that in fact JAWS was on the expected
line. This problem was tied to timing and scrolling documents and should be
resolved in both JAWS 5.0 and in 4.51 using this patch. 4. We solved some of
the reported problems related to disappearing text in MS Word documents
during the JAWS 5.0 cycle and have included those changes for 4.51 patch
also. Also, I still cannot use the Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia with JAWS
5.0. Are there any new scripts? Best regards, Armond. To post a message to
