Hi, Mike. In the past, some updates done by the automatic JAWS updater have failed to install correctly, and worse, once a JAWS update fails to update and install correctly, JAWS needed to be

Tom Yes, you can decline; but you will continue to be notified until you do the installation. This notification will happen each time you restart Jaws. The question becomes why doing the update

Hi, Tom. I'm not Mike, but I can answer your questions. In my opinion, it is still best to install the updates directly from the FreedomScientific website, and, Yes, you will be given the chance to

Hi tom, you could even choose "check for updates" from the help menu after declining the update, at which point you will be given the option to download and install the update from your running copy

Mike: I just checked, and on both of my computers, the automatic notification of updates option was not checked. I have now checked it. This brings me to a question: Typically, when I

Ann, Since you asked, I have the feature turned on with my home computer and turned off at work. For my work computer, I don't do every update, given that they updates don't always improve things I

Why not? If you want to know about updates, you can just go into Help and What’s new. With this, and the auto updates, I don’t think it’s a problem knowing what’s new. All the

As always very kind Mike. Thank you so much. Cheers, Takis

Hi Steve, I had to uninstall and reinstall to get Jaws to sort itself out. Norman.

Albert Why would anyone intentionally uncheck the box to automatically check for updates? I can see this happening accidentally, but otherwise, it makes little sense in my mind. It's an alert and

Good morning Mike, I think you should know from the standpoint of a Jaws user, that if it weren’t for you informing us about updates to Jaws, many of us wouldn’t know about them. This is
