Tom, try the following;

1, desktop,

2, M=my computer,
do not press enter,
instead press alt+enter=properties.
you should land on the general tab.

3, ctrl+tab until you hear automatic updates tab,

now, tab twice you should hear something like,
automatic recommended radio button checked,

down arrow you should see,

download updates for me, but let me decide when I install them.

now tab okay.

note, you will find the item,

updates are ready to install in the system tray.

so, you will need to check this  from time to time.

Hello there;

you could set windows to download the updates for you, however, you decide when you want to install them.

so, you will see, new updates are ready to install in your system tray.

although, I haven't experienced the problem your having.

using, xp, vista, and windows7,

if you would like instructions on how to do the above, let me no.

Subject: Windows Update Question


Hello, all.

I have noticed that, with this particular computer, whenever Windows does an
update, the Windows Update process completely takes over the computer,
basically making Jaws unusable, until the update process has been completed.

I never know when this is going to happen, because the updates seem to occur
whenever they are issued.

Has anyone else on the list had this problem, and what is the suggested
remedy?

I had thought of turning automatic updates off, and doing it manually, but
that seems rather risky to me.

I'm using Jaws 10 with Windows XP on this particular machine.

Thanks!

Tom Behler in Michigan
