Linda, Windows doesn't force you to download and install any updates. A notice may be advising you to do so, but that is all it's doing. There are some updates that are called critical updates because they have to do with ongoing security patches for things like the gaps that virus and malwear hackers exploit in Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, and these really should be taken advantage of. But the others can be dealt with on a basis of choice. I think others on the list may be more skilled at performing these procedures than I am, so I won't say more. But the above may be a helpful clarification. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Parent" <mslparent25@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2005 1:10 PM Subject: RE: Jaws Locking up at the microsoft updates website. Hi, There is a new windows update which makes you upgrade some things as a download but I never had a problem either with the new or old version.

Carliss, I have experienced this problem intermittently. My laptop runs Windows XP pro all updates applied. What operating system is your computer running?

If you haven't had this problem do you have an idea why it's happening? Know matter what I try, jaws is locking up at microsoft updates website. The computer is down loading the updates but jaws will not speak. I've never seen this problem on any of my computers, and I have had quite a few of them. So what I am saying is, when I press the down load and instal button, jaws doesn't say another word until I do an alt f4. I've never seen this befor. Thanks to all, I'll be listening.
