Hi all,
I have found Jaws 5.00.812 update to be better than 5.00 and very stable
on my XP Pro machine. Actually, my system is setup with a duel boot
configuration of 98 SE and XP Pro with Jaws working great on both. The only
odd thing I have come across is with some of my custom scripts on the XP
setup. They were wiped out of the Default.jss file during the
upgrade--nothing new, I seem to go through this every time I do an upgrade
or a repair. I have not had a chance to check out why a couple of my
scripts aren't working, but I have never run into this before. After adding
these scripts to default.jss and compiling with no errors, two scripts I use
for sizing and moving application windows don't work. All I get is the
default XP sound when I run them. Anyone else run into this with scripts
they use for sizing after upgrading to 5.00.812? All in all I find it to be
everything an update should be; new and improved.

It seems that most of us are having problems with the new update. Is there
in any way our concerns could be conveyed to the FS?
