It shouldn't do any harm to rmeove the battery. Although must admit, there
seems to be more and more laptops coming on the market were the batteries are
built in and can't be removed.

May need to recheck that suggestion. I think he (the student) has tried holding
in the power button before without success. So that's why we've ended up
waiting for the battery to die. I'll recheck on how long he has held the button
in the past. It's a Dell Inspiron if that is relevant. He's not comfortable
removing the battery.

Why are you waiting for the battery to go down? Has it locked up or something.
If so, just keep your finger on hte power button for about five seconds and the
pc will turn off. Or if not, take hte battery out briefly.
Apologies if I've misunderstood what you were meaning!

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
