While it is true that some people have encountered problems at times
with windows updates having been installed (at least initially),
Microsoft has normally introduced fixes within a fshort time: so that
the updates now available will fix nearly all problems (where there were
any) with Windows updates.

It is absolutely critical that you install all security updates to
plug up security holes in Windows and IE. Failing to install these
updates could leave you vulnerable to a malware attack. These updates
should not interfere with JAWS in any way. You should never disable
Automatic Updates unless you enjoy dealing with the consequences of a
virus attack. The adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" certainly
does not apply here, because without these updates, your computer
maywell wind up broken sooner or later. I have never encountered a
problem with these updates messing up JAWS or IE. I'm also running
JAWS 9 with XP.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] outlook express Imp
Hello Friends,
I have not allowed my "Automatic Updates " to continue for a few
months, since I read about the I. E. 7 situation, as I only have JAWS
9.0156 on my XP-Home machine!
I am not worried so much about "Security", as I am about
downloading something in the Windows Updates that will mess up a
perfectly working system, my thinking, is of course:
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
And as I said things are just working so perfectly, two (2) T-Drives,
fantastic sound system, no problems with JAWS or anything!
Can anyone tell me why I should allow the updates, and if so, what
should I be weary of?
I do not want to update to JAWS 10 nor 11 at this time, and JAWS 9 is
working fine, but will any of the current updates mess up JAWS
9.0156?
Thanks for any assistance you can provide me in the way of
information!
With Best Regards,
Alan

Subject: [JAWS-Users] outlook express Imp Well, I hope that I got rid
of the Imp. Since I could not find any pattern
or software that was causing the outlook express settings from being
automagically changed, I suspect something is messed up in one of
the system
files. I did some internet searching and found a few year old post
about
similar problems and that there was a security update. Even though I
have
auto updates checked I went to look for updates to Microsoft
software. There
were quite a few that I installed. about 25 including some driver
updates.
Only time will tell if this corrected the problem. There is one
thing that
I installed that I will remove something about a windows search
procedure.
On the task bar it states indexing complete. The one big problem
that I had
with the driver updates was one was for my video. When the computer
restarted it was checked to install the video intercept for Jaws. I
could
only read that line. It took my wife, sighted, to click on the
install
button. Not sure why I could not read anything else on the screen
with
either cursor. It took about six hours for all of the updates.
