Good point about prior versions not being available as download files. It's another reason to ignore automatic updates and go to the FS website to install a new release, which you make easy for all of us by posting the download links.

The current build / version is the only 1 available on the FS website. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.

No need to remove anything, is there?

Subject: Re: jaws not working properly Hi Rick, You would need to go to Freedom Scientific's website & download the latest build & use it for the repair or, remove your current version of Jaws but, leave shared settings & shared components. Then, run the latest J16 installer. Below are the direct download links for both 32 & 64 bit: 32 Bit: http://files.freedomscientific.com/WebFiles/JAWS/J16.0.4350enu-x86.exe 64 Bit: http://files.freedomscientific.com/WebFiles/JAWS/J16.0.4350enu-x64.exe Take care.

Since then, there have been several updates to it. Now I am using the most recent update. When I'd put the disc in the drive, it wouldn't contain the most recent update. How would I go about getting the path for the most recent update?
