Re: [JAWS-Users] Automatic updates
Hello Tom: I did not know this, because I got my laptop through the V A, but I have windows 7 Ultimate.. whatever that is. I guess it is different from the home edition or pro version. Somebody smarter than I am must have figured out Ultimate is better or something. I, also, have the pro version of JAWS, which I did not request.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Automatic updates; no form field problems IE 11
Very interesting, Neil. I'm not sure why IE 11 causes problems for me when entering text into form fields, so I'll stick with IE 10, at least for the time being. This issue of mine stumped the Freedom Scientific Technical Support people I worked with as well. I'm glad you have IE 11 working for you.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Automatic Updates
Hi Donnie, Type the words windows update (without the quotes) in the start menu search box. Pressing the Windows key will give you the search box. The first result will likely be for Windows Update but if not use down arrow or up arrow key to find it. Press enter on the choice. In the resulting window use tab key to find the link for changing settings and press enter key. You should be given the dialog box for adjusting your settings. Take care.

[JAWS-Users] Automatic updates
Dear Alan, Under the windows update settings via the control panel, there are, I think, four options. You apparently know how to get to that, as you've disabled automatic updates, but change that option to the one that says something like: notify me about updates but don't download automatically. Then, I suppose when you've restarted your pc, you'll probably have a pop up window, telling you there are new updates. Press jaws key with function key 11 to get in the system tray, don't route jaws to pc, it's not necessary and probably won't work right then, but just arrow to new updates, where you enter. Use your up and down arrows to find out what the updates are and ensure that everything apart from internet explorer 8 is checked. Uncheck the latter with the space bar. Then tab to ok or download. You'll get a prompt on whether you want to hide the updates you haven't checked, to cancel or to be asked later. You probably want to hide them and/or not to be asked again. download and after the download, if you're not specifically prompted, go to the system tray again and under new updates, enter on install. Now you'll be prompted, probably about once a month, that there are new updates, which you then install in the same way via the system tray and just make sure that internet explorer 8, if it ever comes up again, [which does happen on my pc about every three months] is unchecked, as indicated and install the rest. Don't worry further about wrong installations then, it works as specified.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Automatic Updates
Hi Alan, There are tutorials on Windows automatic updates on both: www.blind-computing.com and www.jaws-users.com If you set up automatic updates correctly, you can choose which updates to install. Security updates should always be installed, and can always be un-installed if there seems to be some conflict. On quite a few different machines over a 9 year period, I have never really experienced a problem resulting from a Windows update.
