Categorically, you can't use the update feature to download JAWS 12. One byproduct is that occasionally FS will update an earlier version of JAWS, but you'll be notified only with that version loaded. I recall JAWS 10 being updated some time after JAWS 11 was released. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Farfar Carlson Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2010 10:32 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: updating to v 12 Correct. I don't think you can upgrade from one major rev to another in that way (e.g. from JAWS 11 to JAWS 12). Try downloading the latest 93 Mb file from the Freedom Scientific web site under the JAWS headquarters. Or else you'll need to wait for your DVD to be mailed to you.

However I do not find v. 12 as listed in what is available. I do have 1 sma remaining. Stan Holdeman
