Used the auto update this morning and had the identical experience which
you did initially. It is a laptop so waiting for the battery to run
down so we can manually download... and hoping that we don't have the
second problem you experienced.

I too had this probem. I updated through the check for update option
and everything wet fine up until the actual installation process. Then I
was in that configuring your system for jaws window for aboutn 20
minutes with that pinging. The progress bar was stuck on on 83%. I
tried canceling and closing, but nothing helped. I even tried opening my
outlook to write the list about this problem, but nothing would open.
IE, Outlook etc. In any event, I got the window to close and restarted
my laptop and after starting up, it went right back to that progress bar
with the pinging. I closed it out and had my wife uninstall 9.0 all
together because I wasn’t getting any sound. After that, I started up my
8.0 version and went to FS’s site directly and just downloaded the
update from there directly to my harddrive. The installation went
smoother and so far, so good.

No sorry updates work fine here.
The question is what changes have you maid to jaws itself. For example
are you using an older version of a jls file? Have you put any extra
all files in the programs folder for jaws. This kind of thing can mess
up the update system and then you would need the full installer to get
the job done.
Also really not much advantage if you ask me in doing the update if you
have more then one computer as you clearly do. Just get the latest
install build and run it on both. They will update the system and you
will be good to go. Hope that helps.

Hi:
I just sent an e-mail off to support about an issue I was having in
updating JAWS and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Of
course, as suspected, they told methe obvious, which was something that
I had already decided to implement the next time around, running the
full install of JAWS.
When updating JAWS on my laptop it goes through the update process, but
then when it says configuring JAWS for your system and starts emitting
the series of clicks it just sits there and you can't close the
dialogue. On top of that, Windows pretty much freezes up, leaving you
know choice but to hold the on-off switch for a few seconds until the
laptop shuts off. Then, when you're finally back in Windows, JAWS
continues with the install that it should have done in the first place,
and then it says that you have to restart the computer so it can finish
the install. This is without speech, though. JAWS initially starts when
your computer starts but as it's going through the rest of the update it
loses speech.
It's doen that for every update that I've done on this laptop so far,
and i've done it twice now. Has anyone else had this issue? I have yet
to try it on my desktop.
Patricia
