I agree about the critical updates. But there is one thing to be aware of. Sometimes windows update will download driver updates for certain video cards like the NVIDIA. Updating your drivers in XP can cause a video intercept error which needs to be corrected. This is discussed in this technical support notice which tells how to fix the video intercept. Updating your display driver causes MAGic and/or JAWS to intercept video incorrectly. http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_support/BulletinView.cfm?QC=504 Part of it reads: Note: Occasionally, the Windows Automatic Update service may download updated video drivers for you to install. It is always recommended that you activate the Details button in the Automatic Update wizard so that you know which updates are going to be installed. If a display driver appears on the list and you choose to install it, be prepared to perform the above steps after restarting your computer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Reid" <Tom.Reid2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, August 09, 2004 3:06 PM Subject: Re: jaws and windows updates: Devona, You'll be fine.
