Moderated Cannot read JAWS update windows
|
Karl Proud
Hi, So after getting an update message I am unable to get the update installed. First of all, after dealing with the UAC, the list of updates shows no option to highlight. However, knowing that something is there I can press space and even though no detail of the chosen update is spoken and install button can be pressed. When the Jaws install window opens you would expect the self-voicing install prompts to begin but unfortunately not. Even though I have Jaws running at the time I cannot access any controls on the window and therefore cannot proceed. Turning Jaws off and switching to Narrator doesn’t give me access to the window either. On the odd occasion turning off Jaws has brought the self-voicing window to life, but not lately. I have had this experience on more than one machine running Windows 10.
Has anyone else had this experience and more importantly been able to fix it without just having to install a fresh copy each time there is an update.
Regards to you all, Karl

I can't help you with your problem because I've never had that problem, but I can tell you that in order to reduce the size of the installer, Vispero has removed the installer's self voiced capability, so you will have to have an external screen reader running to access the dialogs of the installer.

One of the things that I do when the install of Jaws update begins, is to hit the Jaws key, which is the insert key on your keyboard, is too hit the Jaws key and the B key at the same time, and it will provide you with progress number of percentages. For example, it will display 20 percent. . -----Original Message-----

Which includes your current version of JAWS.

Karl,
I’ve read through your message more than once, and I’m puzzled. It’s true that the JAWS installer no longer has self-voicing, for which I myself am glad. It was irritating. Instead, on my system, my current version of JAWS continues to operate as the update proceeds. You’re saying that isn’t true for you?

Yup! You can leave JAWS running while it is being updated, when the installer encounters a file that is in use because JAWS is still running, it will configure Windows to copy the new file over the old file the next time it is restarted.
