Hi Jim, That's good because it ain't fun! LOL I've had it happen, but I was the 1 doing the driver update, so since I knew what I had just done I was able to fix the problem without any guesswork. If it would have happened as an automatic update, there's no telling how long it would have taken to find & resolve the problem. I guess the quickest way to resolve such an issue would be a system restore, but I hope I don't have to find out. Take care.

Well, you're possibly stuck without Jaws , or your screenreader of choice. I'm by no means stating that this will happen, but I can't imagine the endless possibilities of what could happen, & with what apps/ drivers behind the scenes leaving you sitting there wondering what the hell just happened!

A quick Google search didn't give me a definitive answer. One result, concerning Win10, seemed to confirm Jim's conjecture that changing this setting also allows for updating drives and even supplying missing ones. But I wish I had a clearer idea about any risks involved. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike B.
