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,
Alan

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.
