Hi Eric; This is the message I received when attempting to update via the automatic update option;
JAWS Setup Package Error graphic 132 The JAWS setup package could not install the required component JAWSPatch. The process will now exit. OK This is why I prefer to download / save from the website. Would you please post the download link from the Freedom Scientific website? Thank you very much for all your help. Take care.
