Eleanor,
there's a difference between updates and *upgrades*. Upgrades are what you'd pay for from one version to another. Updates are like 'patches' to the same version you'd be using at the time. Thus, updates are free. JAWS comes out with one major new release, an upgrade, which you must pay for if you want its authorized use, each November or thereabouts. In between times, there are updates to that version, which authorized users can download via the JAWS update feature or from the Web site. 

Flor.

I am really pleased to hear that Flor as it is not everyone that can afford all these upgrades.

Some people are still Uusing JAWS9 as it came out on their CD. There had been about two updates to it since then. the last of these supports Internet Explorer 8.

I was sure it did not so would imagine it has been adjusted to do so.

Eleanor,
the last version of JAWS9 - or the now downloadable version of JAWS9 - works with Internet Explorer 8.

What version of Supernova do you have? I think if you have Internet Explorer 8 for example you would need Supernova 11 at least and now there is Supernova 12!!! As for Jaws again I would say what version of Jaws and what version of Internet Explorer. Again I believe you will need at least Jaws 10 for Internet Explorer 8 but Jaws 11 would work better and again there is Jaws 12 now. Of course both of you may use Fire Fox.

 Hi Jenny
I have similar problems when I read my emails or its on some websites on the internet and I use supernova which is a magnification and speach software.
I would say likes of jaws and supernova can't seem to fully load some things on the internet. I don't know. Has anyone else any ideas out there? Is anyone else experiencing this? 

 Best
 Gina

   hi to the list,
   can anyone help me please,
when i turn on my computer everything is in order until i read a couple of emails and bingo my computer freezes for no good reason. i turn it off from the tower, but each time i turn it back on i just get a buzzing sound and nothing happens, this occurs at least 4-5 times and then it works perfectly. 
   as you can imagine it is very frustrating.
i am using "jaws 9" and "windows xp home addition" i also have avast 5 which updates each day. any thoughts would be much appreciated but could i ask any explanations in simple language as i am certainly not a computer buff. 
   thanks for any help.

   jenny o'brien.
