Hi Margaret, Yes, go to:
http://ninite.com/ To get your latest Adobe XI. After updating to Adobe XI there are settings that will need to be made. They changed a few things in Adobe XI & someoptions are not in the same places as in Adobe X. Below are the necessary changes. Note that there are links with the Security Enhanced section to explain the consequences of unchecking items there, and you may want to find out what they have to say. 1. Open Adobe XI from your desktop shortcut & go into preferences with control-k. JAWS lands on an item in a tree view. If you have been here before, it will be the item you last opened. Arrow up or down to Security Enhanced. Note that this is the item below "Security." Then uncheck these 2 options, the 2nd option is not necessary to uncheck but, optional: Enable Protected Mode at startup, needs to be unchecked. Enable Enhanced Security, does not need to be unchecked. Note. When making changes in the Security Enhanced section, you will be told that Adobe needs to be restarted, but you can wait to finish the other changes first. 2. Launch the Edit menu, scroll down to the Accessibility submenu and open it. Scroll down to the Set-up Assistant and press enter. The Set-Up Assistant has five screens, but the only change you have to make is on the last, screen 5 of 5. Go through all the screens, pressing spacebar on "Next" in each instance, until you reach the fifth and final screen. Here, tab to the check box labeled "Display PDF documents in the web browser" and make sure it is unchecked. It may be checked by default. Then tab to the Okay button & spacebar it. Hope this helped. Take care.

I had version 10.x and used the check for updates in the help menu and it updated me to 10.1.6 and said No updates available when I tried the check for updates again. Should I uninstall 10.1.6 and go to http://ninite.com/ and install a fresh copy there or would ninite install the latest version over my existing version? Also, is the correct URL for ninite? I'm probably caffeine deprived, but it doesn't look quite right. I'm running JAWS 14 and Window-Eyes 7.5.x on a 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium machine with IE9 and Firefox probably 17.x. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
