Re: correctly Updating Jaws

Dave...
 

Respectfully disagree, Steve...

Directly updating from the Help menu via the Internet connection has been
demonstrated numerous times by users to fail during the process. It leans
heavily on the connection being reliable throughout the process and if it
does not, the update is compromised with possible bad result.

Much safer to do the download as a separate process, and then to run the
executable on the computer.

The Help menu way is easier and doesn't leave anything hanging around,
unless of course one runs the downloaded file rather than saving it first.

Which is the correct way of updating Jaws? Through Jaws help menu, check
for updates or by the link provided late yesterday? Thank you for the
info.
