Thanks for the help. I really thought that I had the newest version. After the restore to Feb 09 jaws 10 was on the computer. I immediately went to check for updates and the only version presented to me was 10.512. I made the assumption that it was the latest. After reading the email I saw that .54 was what was the newest. The check for updates now presented this version. Now if I could only recover 4 months of emails that I wanted to keep. Incidentally the crash was due to outlook express. As Rick suggested I normally use the manual compress. last evening I was doing a lot of clean up. When I closed outlook express it wanted to compress. I canceled restarted outlookexpress and did a manual compress. The system was already trashed. Learned another hard lesson, after a few deletes of large emails I will always do a manual compress.
