I'll work with this suggestion, plus the others some members have given me. Thanks again!

This can be done from a number of places, but check the Programs/applications/system menu for Windows Update, and there you should find a way to Uncheck automatic updates. Of course you want to be notified when they are available, but you want to control the actual time of updating and also to make sure you approve what is being updated, as well.

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!
